A Regal Christmas Dinner

The traditional Christmas colors of green and red are used so often during the Holiday season that it is easy to fall into the habit of using the same color scheme for your Christmas dinner year after year. One way to spruce up your decor, without doing a complete overhaul, is to add the color purple into the mix. Purple has long been associated with royalty, and when mixed with green and red, makes for a regal and warm atmosphere that maintains a certain formality.
