Red And White

Why is Christmas Day or Valentine's Day RED?...Other than colors green, gold or yellow or white or pink, why red?
  Christmas  and Valentine's are red, very red in many representations.   Manifested not just by its color, but by the sentimental message or warm thoughts being delivered by the sender, promoter or manifestor.
  Blood is red and blood is what flows through you.  Red blood cells or Erythrocytes are red because of Hemoglobin.   Whatever your blood type is, it's Oxygen that gives color to it.
  White blood cells or Leukocytes are part of human armor that protect the body from infections, viruses,  bad bacteria and other foreign invaders.  
  The colors red and white can be seen in many occasions and places like anniversaries and shops, not just in the clothes worn by humans or in cars, buses, schools, hospitals,  churches, theaters, stadiums, parks and houses.  Red and white could mean love, purity, honesty and other positive things or attributes of the human kind.  Even animals can sense what these colors mean to humans despite being color-blind.  
  Why are colors red and white so important to the human eye?... It's because of YOU.
