Red lifts the mood besides being a warm color.  It is a fact that the red is associated with all celebrations irrespective of race or religion. Christmas takes place when the whole world is bleak and dark and harsh. Red changes the look and feel of a room and it is no wonder Christmas elaborately uses red, be it in, flowers, table decorations or gifts.
