Morgan Hill Review

On Sunday I bought my first ever Christmas Tree and, with Zaira, decorated it with the meager ornaments I could afford after paying for the tree, the stand, the tree skirt, the lights.  It turns out that decorating for Christmas without a single supply is rather expensive.  So we had to go small and leave a few things out.  We both blogged about it of course and our family came to the rescue.  This morning there was a knock on the door.  Upon opening I discovered the most beautiful Poinsettia. I had no idea they came that large! But it definitely helps Christmas-fy the house

I just got off the phone with my mother (who sent the Poinsettia) and asked her where she got it.  “1-800-Flowers of course.”  You see, with family spread around the country we haven’t been able to make use of local florists very often so we’ve all become absolute devotees of 1-800Flowers.  Besides the flowers themselves still come from a local florist so it combines convenience and benefits to local economies.

Then, of course, there’s the great selection that they have, especially for Christmas.  Of course Poinsettias are the most traditional of Christmas flowers (plants?, but there are also Christmas Roses, misteletoe, and all types of holiday-themed arrangements (my favorite is the Candy Cane Christmas Cactus).
