Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the savior of the world.
Green represents the tree that would provide the wood for the cross that he was crucified on and red represents his blood that was shed to save us all from our sins.

This definitely is not it, saying that as someone who grew up Catholic.
Even if the colours were tied to Jesus, why would the symbolism represent his death when the season is about his birth?
Some basic critical thinking proves your theory wrong.
