Aaargh, just lost a long post, crap wifi at gym. To surmise:
Blair didn't expect to see Pat Butcher when I opened Vogue this morning! Think ts or mango earrings go best with the outfits you described. Green are lovely but possibly too Christmas tree-like with red dress. 
QueenC lovely skirt, great colour. Hope it works for you.
Betty I am central so can take can but still don't think can do bare legs in Dec.
Dry can't open your links due to this wifi, will look later but you've made me think a good down jacket is missing from my wardrobe too.
Santa have a fabulous time.
Linus glad the leggings are keepers and lol at your ds, they do love different textures.
Marsha love your attention to detail about the accent!
Have an urge to buy a sparkly party dress, not me at all so sitting on hands but I do love Christmas so and can go dangerously off-kilter at this time of year.
