I love odd color combinations for holiday decorations. I suppose it comes from too many years spent as a visual manager at a major department store where Christmas started in August.Green and red.  That was Christmas for me, exhausted and embracing the holiday as  simply a day off to see a movie or go out for Chinese. Now, a major move, two kids and my own business later, I enjoy twisting the traditional a bit.  A little red blends well with the chartreuse of the desert, brown  and brilliant tangerine. I picked up a few rolls of wide satin ribbon and had some fun.
