Are you dreaming of a white Christmas?
White was the color of the year 2009 and also a trend in fashion and design (iPods, the Wii, white candy bars, 10% of European cars etcetera). Virgin white equals purity, innocence, perfection and the truth. You should read “De kracht van wit”, (The Power of White), Fons Van Dyck’s new book on this subject!
But a white Christmas would be the biggest cliché I could wish you, right. So why not wish you a magenta Christmas? That color represents cheerfulness and excitement. Or what about an orange one? Warmth, richness and sex would be your part then. I bet you would like that in 2010! Still Goethe once wrote that developed humans dislike colors… Considering this, I will wish you a black Christmas. I do reckon it symbolizes darkness, sin and deviation. But at least it’s less boring than white. Amy Winehouse (that other great writer next to Goethe) already announced “Back to Black”. Obama in the White House actually means Black Power and hey, once you go black … So don’t feel blue in these last dark days of recession year 2009. Be a black beauty!
