With the season in full swing, what are your preferences for this time of year?
Are you a traditional red/green/white? Wintery person-blue/silver/white? More modern or pink/light green/etc? Or something else?

Modern-pinks, greens and blues. I guess I would choose those colors for most holidays though, not just Christmas. They just seem very festive to me.

Traditional red and green for me. I especially love looking for Vintage Christmas items for my home and December Daily album with these colors.

I think my favorite is white/blue/silver. But I also like green/red/white or gold. Or red/white/gold. hmmm, should I just say all of it

I usually use red & green & white & gold for Christmas pages, and then navy & aqua & blue & silver for generic winter.
But I mix it up a bit depending on the photos I am using.

For documenting, I’m currently preferring red, green, black and white.
However, my tree is rose gold with clear lights and silver ornaments.

I guess it depends on the pictures. I pretty much like them all—ltraditional red and green, the winter blue and silver, and the Victorian pinks.

I am all over the place. I love traditional colors but then I also like fun modern mixes as well. I often use gold and red. But I also love black and white with pops of red and green. I just think I love it all!

Gold, white and red for both decorating and scrapping. I guess that's more traditional. I'm more into textures, I would say. I like sparkly and twinkly for Christmas, mixed in with some natural textures like wood and pinecones. The only thing I've found that doesn't work for me for Christmas is black and white. I find I really love color and shine this time of year.

I like modern Christmas colours. Something other than the traditional red and green, or at least something in addition to the tradition red and green. I generally like to work with lots of different colours and patterns, so I look for a broad palette of colours I can pull from. I really like the Pinkfresh December Days Christmas line from this year...something like that with some traditional winter colours and a few quirky additions.

Wintery. I can use red or green, but not together.

I definitely prefer traditional red and green but also use a lot of kraft and burlap.

I just think I love it all! Me, too. My home is the same. It's traditional. My Christmas decor is traditional red and green. But, one of the guest rooms is shabby chic. I have a white Christmas tree in there with pastel ornaments. I love it! Well, I'll love it if I get it up this weekend!

I love all of it- except for wintery blue/white/silver combos. Probably because we rarely see snow here so those colors can seem kind of drab to me.

And speaking of sparkly, I use splotches of white paint sprinkled with glitter, torn "snowbanks" inked with a bit of blue for shadows and with swirls of Stickles. Hoar frost, variegated bare tree trunks, and snow are how our world is coloured naturally this time of year in my part of the world.

I'm a traditionalist - red/green/gold for scrapping and for decor.
I do love the winter colours - blue/white/silver - but I live in Florida and they aren't very useful here

I switch it up. I like red and aqua together, but this year, I'm going for a more Scandinavian vibe. Red and white with wood and greenery. I'll do the same when I scrap the photos, unless other colors in the photos stand out.

Bright red, white, and a little bit of black. Think Coca-Cola Christmas with the vintage Santa vibe.

I love all the colors! It really depends on the context, but for decorating the tree I love candy cane red white green, and gold or silver look great with those colors. I have shiny and matte silver balls, ruby ones ones, silver garland, candy canes. I like other people's trees that have all the pretty colors, but I've never tried that in my own house (yet). I make cards with all kinds of color schemes (pink and aqua with red and green for group of cards, but I used another collection that was browns and dark teal shades - more wintery - and I loved that too. A friend just posted her flocked white + gold sparkly tree and that worked for me too. I grew up with summer Christmas and the pohutukawa as the (outdoor) Christmas tree (gnarly slightly-grey-green tree with stunning red flowers) and now I live in the dim grey PNW region of the USA, but I don't think any of that matters to my Xmas color preferences. Just give me lots of lights!

For Christmas I go for traditional colors but living where I do means lots of wintry colors too. Plus pink because both my kids seem to wear it all the time.

Almost any color combination will work. I like different color combinations. No pink though. That would be ewww in my opinion.

I like traditional colors mixed with some fun colors. Snow and cocoa from crate paper (minus that pink) and pinkfresh december days is my all time favorite.

I am a combination of wintery and modern, all my decorations are pink, purple, silver with a touch of blue and white. I actually don't like red and green as colours together so they will never be colours you see in my house but I will have to start using them in Christmas layouts as it is hard to document santa photos and bright coloured kids clothes with pinks and purples.

Wintery - blue and silver, with some white. I was using those colors before they were cool. (pun not intended) Years ago, it was hard to find stuff in those colors. My parents live with me, and my mom decorated the house for Christmas this year, she used all my blue and silver stuff on the tree and then added some simple red ornaments. It looks really nice.
