National flags of red, white, and green.

Santa’s got some serious pull, and he loves his Christmas colors.  Not by coincidence, pick the flag of some random country, and it’ll probably sport lots of holiday hues: 30% red, 30% white, and 10% green, on average.  St. Nick isn’t okay with part-way, however – he’s always lobbying for more.  To the right, we’ve included his trophy case: the thirty national flags with completely Yule-conformant coloring.  Ho ho ho, indeed!

While researching a recent article on flags and utopia, I accidentally overdosed on these holiday colors and contracted a serious case of the Christmas spirit.  As if piloted by elves, I gathered needle, thread, scissors, and fabric, ponied up to the work table, and began to frantically cut and sew.  The house shook under a raging storm of red, white, and green.  Then, my head cleared, leftover scraps of cloth settled to the floor, and…

With some help from cherubs above, I’d channeled the holidays – or rather, a bit of their essence – into three Yule-hued flags of Christmas!  I’ve included them below, and you can click on each one to see a larger version suitable for wallpaper display.

First, don your tinted eyewear, and bask in the brilliant glow of the Rising-Sun-inspired Flag of the Over-Electrified Christmas Tree:

Next, sample the strong, Brute!-esque diagonals, somewhat evocative of Soviet propaganda, of the banner of Rooftop, Christmas Morning, 2am:

Finally, epileptic reindeer and diabetic donkeys beware – for behold, the supercharged stripes and sickly sweetness of the Flag of Candy Land In December:
