December Blooms

Besides all the hubbub that surrounds the holidays, you know what I mean;  Santa at the mall before Thanksgiving,  two women rolling around the floor at the mall and then the blue flash of the TAZER, the stampede for the deal on Black Friday, the internet ads for Cyber Monday, the flash of the parades on your TV, besides all that there is one beautiful and peaceful indicator that the giving season is upon us.  I am always amazed at the simplicity and beauty of the December blooms that the Christmas Cactus offers at this time of year.
