The Blue Color Style Person During The Holidays - Part 4 of 9

By Jim Stephens based on Color Styles by Mary Miscisin

BLUE COMMUNICATION PATTERNS

Blues are typically friendly, personal, and interactive. They like to connect first before getting to their agenda and may often put the needs of others before their own. They will listen empathetically and provide positive feedback and appreciation, sharing some personal anecdotes of their own. Blues will express emotion in conversation and often use metaphors to explain their ideas. Adept at reading body language, Blues may read between the lines for deeper meaning or the underlying message. In general, Blues are optimistic and ready to help cheer up others. However, since they experience a rich range of emotions they are also inclined to feel "Blue" if they feel left out, disconnected, or unappreciated.

What to expect from Blues during the Holidays

 *  Kindhearted Blues will be full of joy in anticipation of showing love in all the thoughtful ways they do, such as baking, making special cards, and finding or creating unique gifts.

 *  Blue Color Style people look forward to connecting with their family and friends and making others feel special.

 *  Blues like to play holiday music and decorate the house, office, car...making everyone feel warm and welcome.

 *  Blues may enjoy dressing for the season wearing holiday theme clothing.

 *  For Blues, since they fully experience their emotions and the dramas of life, if they recently broke up with a significant other or lost a loved one, the holidays may be especially painful and lonely.

 *  Blues find symbolism in people's actions, circumstances, and gifts.

 *  Blues pay attention to the less fortunate during the Holidays and may volunteer their time for gift-giving organizations such as "adopt-a-family" projects. They aspire to help others, include everyone, and spread Holiday cheer whenever and wherever possible.
