The Red Cross is a private organisation and can do whatever it wants (within the law). Were the state to step in and force it one way or another that would be almost as oppressive as the various governments of the U.S. banning red and green clothes.
Enjoy your 'sparkly season' whilst I have my proper English Christmas.
