    I'm weak when it comes to Christmas fabrics so I should probably recuse myself from this discussion!

    I've noticed that the greens and reds used in the "Christmas Fabrics" changes over the years. So that fabrics from various seasons may or may not look good together.

    I am the same as GrannieAnnie - I have a weakness for Christmas fabrics, I buy what ever catches my eye. It is so much fun!

    Guess I'm the only bah hum bug. We don't exchange gifts. The family is way too big and being on a fixed budget we refuse to pay the whole year for stuff that isn't wanted or needed. Just my opinion.

    I'll be looking for a nice variety of greens--from lime to deep green. Along with some cranberry, fuschia, and a bit of red. Something with gold glitter too~

    Basically if it's sparkly, it grabs my attention! Also snowmen and penguins, I'm very weak!
