Happy Christmas, everyone! Just waiting for my Christmas meal to finish cooking, so thought I'd upload a few images. Needed the bright red of this Pointsettia to brighten up my white, snowy photostream : ) This ceramic angel is maybe 10" or 12" high and is one of my favourites, and actually stays out all year round, keeping an eye on me, LOL. I tend to prefer very simple, more abstract things rather than intricate, frilly, sparkly things, hence this choice : )

Well, rather an orangey-red (and not as sharp as it should be), but I desperately needed something - anything! - that looked hot on this frigid, winter day. By midday, the wind chill temperature was up to -39C. Far too cold, dangerously cold, to go out anywhere, so I found what I could in my home that I could photograph. This is a leaf off a Poinsettia plant that I bought through a fundraiser for my Grandson's elementary school. Thanks, Keigan!
