− | Isn't all traditions just that? Something some people did on a regular basis long time ago and we just carry on doing...that's why i don't give a damn about traditions.[[Special:Contributions/198.41.229.24|198.41.229.24]] 15:04, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

− | :"Pun"? Not sure I'd use that word, like that. Possibly the borrowed term "visual pun", insofar as it (maybe) references the traditional christmas colour combination of green and red for holly and berries, the robes of the Three Wise Men, a tree with wrapped gifts beneath, The Grinch in a Santa costume, whatever your own cultural reference is... And perhaps meant to look like stacked festive boxes.

− | :Not having recently read the article (only just rechecked the image), not sure how to write this sort of thing in – any bit that's not already there. Open to edits by whoever, though, if you feel strongly about it. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.90.223|172.70.90.223]] 12:44, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
