So, we usually take down the decor on January 1st.  How about you?

I’ve been seeing a lot of poinsettias on Christmas trees lately. I visited several large well known stores which I won’t mention here because their prices were awful. For one fake poinsettia stem it was anywhere from $4-$8.

I finally went to the dollar store & found some lovely velvet poinsettias that came out to 6 flowers for $1. I guess poinsettias are a flower. I was amazed at what a difference it made to the tree. These poinsettias are a great way to fill in gaps & add dimension & texture to a tree, besides the fact that they are just plain pretty.
