Commercially, Christmas is best epitomized by complex chenille patches which feature Santa Claus, snowflakes, and wreaths bordered in red and green golden yarn. Other non-religious winter symbols have emerged as popular in Western holiday shops as they can be easily adapted to secular spaces in contrast to the Northern European markets which use religious motifs. It is easy to decorate sweaters, stockings, or holiday themed decor with these iron backed patches allowing them to be layered and stitched with metallic threads.
