Announcing
the Yule onset
Without fail
since 1973,
This cactus
was promoted decades ago,
To my
official Christmas Tree.
It never
needs an ornament,
Against the
blooms they can’t compete.
There is no
room for any gifts,
So friends
all get off cheap.
The branches
cut for others,
Have started
their own plants living.
I can say
with absolute certainty,
This is
the gift that keeps on giving.
When I moved to this smaller house I got rid of so much stuff and my Christmas cactus was on the list. I miss it so much. It didn't just bloom at Christmas time, it also bloomed at Easter time.
