Best Answer

Purely a capitalistic idea invented by a family in California that grew them so well! They were so Christmas in color that the red and green appealed to the holiday allure and thus a family business was born. About a month or two ago the San Francisco Chronicle wrote a very informative article on it and tells the whole unbelievable American Dream Story that is very warm and fuzzy feeling.
