Decorating the tree, choosing the biggest poinsettia, baking cookies, wrapping the gifts and of course, singing Christmas carols from morning to night. Oh, how I love the traditions of the holiday season. I remember my grandfather used to buy the perfect red poinsettia for my grandmother. My own father continued the annual living gift for my mom. Over the years the poinsettia plant has been bred to produce bigger more luxurious blooms. Colors can range from the traditional red to pink, white, peach, yellow and even speckled petals. Today, my husband continues the poinsettia gift tradition bringing me the most unique plant he can find. Each year, I wait to see…just what will it be this time? A hanging basket, the mammoth sized tub, the sparkling surprise of a glitter dusted plant, or…it’s sure to be a grand surprise.
