Something very nice in the present. I woke up this morning to find my Christmas cactus had bloomed! It was given to my by a neighbor in the fall of 2015, and he loved his plants, but he was moving and wouldn't have room for them. He gave away around 20 houseplants. His request to me was 'Take care of my baby' as this was his favorite plant. I've been very careful with it, I bloomed last year but I wasn't sure about this year.

So a happy 'in the now' Christmas memory. :D Pardon the surrounding, but you can see part of what I'm living with...boxes, boxes and more boxes packed while I'm waiting to get a call for my apartment in an Affordable housing unit. sigh.

When I realized my parents were helping Santa, I started helping them put together my younger brother's "some assembly required" gifts. When I got older and had some money of my own, I started stuffing my parents' stockings too. Even after I moved out on my own, I would spend Christmas Eve with my folks, and after they headed to bed, I would stuff their stockings. We sometimes had a traffic jam waiting our turn to play Santa. It was so much fun to look for things to fit in the stockings that they would enjoy. :-)

Those are wonderful memories and traditions too. I love the idea of the traffic jam waiting to play Santa! That's so cool.

Thanks for sharing them!

How nice it bloomed in time for Christmas. I kill them along with ferns and African violets. Everything else I take care of grows great.

The secret is to not give them too much water, and have them in the right light. Watering, I've been good about and where it's hanging...I guess it likes. I didn't really have anywhere else to put it.

Thanka! It's blooming even more today! :D
