Love the Winter Wonderland afghan for its color which deviates from the usual red Christmas color. The choice of orange here signifies freedom and independence of mind in choosing what truly makes us happy and joyful this Christmas season. Colors don't matter but the meaning of the celebration does. Cheers!
