The one you got is classic and such a gorgeous color! it's year round and is simple enough that it can be worn in so many ways. i love the christmas scarf but i do think it is seasonal and can only be worn at the holidays (though others could surely disagree, i just can't see how you can fold it to make it look less holiday like). so that i would want to invest less in. if you really want it i would get it in addition to this full size one or try and find it for less on ebay. if you don't love the small size though you might never wear it which would be a waste. you know?
