Across the Finish Line

Our Christmas tree didn’t burst into flames or need to be tossed out on the curb before Christmas Eve (but my husband and I did spot someone’s poor tree already out near the curb waiting for pick-up, may it rest in peace).

I kept two poinsettias alive for 3 weeks—that’s gotta be a record. And our church flowers still look fantastic (because someone else watered and cared for them, let’s not kid ourselves):

I made it across the finish line with my Christmas plants!

Now all we need around here is a little of the white stuff to frame all the beautiful cardinals that visit my birdfeeders every day. Then it will feel more like Christmas!
