Ages ago I took this a-bit-too-sparkly photo of our horse, Roo, with his celebratory Santa hat. I found it while purging some photo back up systems. I think I was trying out every Photoshop brush I owned at the time. (Smile)
It got me to thinking about this week's blog circle theme, "red and green."
While there is no doubt in my mind that red and green are the traditional colors of the holiday my family celebrates, and I sure do love a POP of red in ANY photo, other colors are tied into Christmas as well.
There are even songs to prove it.

Here are a few of my favorite Christmas photos that use the traditional colors, or pops of color.

Blue
I have been a blue-wrapping-paper proponent for many years. I like blue. Especially with hints of silver or gold in it. So blue has always been high on the list that I check twice.
Sure, Elvis' Blue Christmas was not the happiest subject, but photographers know that "blue" is the color of winter. We are either compensating for it or embracing it all the time.

Silver and Gold
In "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," Sam, the snowman, sings a song entitled "Silver and Gold." He sings about how much more silver and gold decorations mean to him on a Christmas tree, than they do as material worth. To kids it's a pretty song. To adults it's a message.
There's also a song I grew up with, "Silver Bells," which was one of the first Christmas songs I learned to play on the piano as a child, along with Silent Night.
Silver and gold are surely a great part of Christmas.

In the end, it really doesn't matter what colors you celebrate with, as long as you celebrate the reason for the season, whatever that season may be for you!
