Christmas Countdown

What makes a Happy Home? I love, love, love to take care of my family. For me, creating a home that is warm and inviting, where everyone feels welcome is pure joy! The smell of fresh laundry just in off the clothesline, a neat and tidy home and garden, a good home cooked meal, a few desserts here and there, the love of family, friends and fellowship all help to make our home a Happy Home. Join me as we celebrate the holidays, the birthdays and the every days!

Someone's a little confused

We all know how much I love Christmas and I'm ready for it to come, but my Christmas cactus is a bit ahead of schedule. And speaking of Christmas blooms... it's time to start your amaryllis if you have one. I know that Wal-mart, K-mart, and Home Depot have the amaryllis kits for sale now. As Mike - E says "try it, you'll like it!.

Your cactus must have come in contact with a radio station that has started Christmas music already..
We did an amarylis one year that got snapped in the middle. The kids wanted to save it, so we duct taped it. didn't work.

Your cactus is ready for Santa! So am I!

I know this will sound like a fish tale... but up to last year.. I had the biggest most beautiful christmas cactus, that yes bloomed early too. hundreds of blooms.... well, almost! sadly I put it in our basement garage last year and it froze..... bummer... I will see if I have a old pic laying about. yours is very cute ! I love the color. Blessings!

I have 2 different Xmas Cactus, one blooms at Thanksgiving time and the other at Christmas. One has the leaves with the points like yours and the other has rounded leaves. I love them, they are so beautiful! Kerrie

It's pretty. My Aunt has one that's a coral red color. I think it usually blooms around Thanksgiving too. Have a nice night and Happy Veteran's Day.
