Christmas in Color

By now you likely know the color blue runs through my veins as well as all around me.  It is our favorite color.  (There is a tip for picking a partner: make sure you like the same color palette.)  We love bright richly saturated colors.  Christmas decorations feed this attraction like no other holiday.   

This year we cut a nice big tree (which still drops needles – go figure) and filled it with all our ornaments from past holidays.  I’m a fan of the more personal tree, not overly done or too decorated.  For me a Christmas tree, just like an interior, needs to be individual and reflect the inhabitants of the home.  Individuality is interesting.  I made this garland from construction paper and straw in kindergarten or 1st grade. One of the husband’s childhood ornaments and my mom’s Rudolph from when she was a little girl. As a kid they tried to instill this angel thing, it never stuck. What’s that design rule about always having a little black… and white?
