I think this is a perfect holiday palette, but I can also see myself using this all year round. I imagine it is because this is a red and green leaning palette, not just reds and greens. Oden's Eye fills in the gaps with browns, teals, coppers, golds. I also love the even ratio of mattes to shimmers. Each shimmer is very special, so they will transform any one of the mattes they sit on.
