Artificial Christmas Trees Fit the Needs of Everyone

admin — Wed, 12 May 2010 02:22:56 +0000

It is funny to think about, but most people go through life thinking bigger is better until one day they realize that simplicity is the key to happiness. Of course, the same thing can be said about the Christmas season as well, consumers have the idea in their heads that they need bigger gifts, larger Christmas trees, and more food. They forget that the true meaning of Christmas is in the joy that people bring to each other just by taking the time to show that they care. It is not about the big artificial Christmas trees that are on display in the mall or the giant inflatable fixtures that fill up the neighbor’s front yard.

The entire larger is better Christmas complex begins in childhood when everything looks so much bigger to small children. The wonder and the magic of Christmas is so overwhelming and wonderful during those early years, that many people are forever trying to recapture that feeling later on in their lives. In order to do this, people go out and buy extravagant artificial Christmas trees and hundreds of yards of twinkling lights to decorate their homes with, in the hopes of bringing the magic back into their lives. Unfortunately for most people, the task of recapturing that moment will never be achievable, but they will have a great time trying.

The good news is that many adults recreate this joy for their children, and even though they are not experiencing it in the same way, they are now finding a new kind of Christmas magic that will replace their previous desire to recreate their memories. Instead, they will want to create hundreds of wonderful Christmas moments for their children. For instance, another magical Christmas moment is when parents take their children out to the woods for the first time after a snowstorm so that they are able to see all of the beautiful white Christmas trees and build their first snowman nestled safely underneath.

As people continue to get older and their children grow up and start families of their own, they are no longer in need of quite so many decorations or the larger Christmas trees. Instead, they are more practical, prefer simpler decorations that are easy to put up and take down, and are reusable year after year. Most elderly people still fully enjoy the Christmas season, but they have finally figured out that it is not because of the new eight-foot artificial Christmas trees that are hitting the market this year. It is because they are able to share in the magical moments that their children are now experiencing with their children.

What is truly amazing is that the original joy that a child first felt when witnessing the world after a snowstorm never goes away with age. Although throughout their lifetime they may come to appreciate the snow for different reasons, they will once again be enchanted by the beauty that a sea of white Christmas trees has to offer. The peaceful fresh look that the snow has on the world never fades over time, just overlooked.

Poinsettias: The Fascinating History of the Most Popular Christmas Plant

admin — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 03:27:10 +0000

While Christmas gift baskets grab much of the attention come the start of December, there’s another holiday tradition that goes back even further, a plant that has become as ubiquitous in homes and offices as brightly decorated Christmas trees. Of course we can only be talking about Poinsettias, the most popular Christmas flower, and the most popular flowering potted plant sold in the United States. The familiar red leaves are in demand year round, but never more so during the six week lead up to Christmas, during which the bulk of the 61 million Poinsettias ($220 million worth) annually are sold in this country. Even with the popularity of these traditional Christmas flowers, it might surprise you to know that they have a very long and interesting history, complete with misconceptions, exotic locations and important historical figures.

For example, it’s been a widespread belief that the plant’s leaves are poisonous to people. While the sap produced by the plant can be a mild skin and stomach irritant in large enough quantities, a study by Ohio State University dispelled the poison myth by proving that 500 of the red leaves would have to be eaten to induce discomfort in a 50 pound child. What other interesting facts are there about Poinsettias? A good starting point would be the origin of the plant. This Christmas flower is native to Mexico and parts of South America; the red leaves were used by the Aztecs to make dye. In the wild, these plants are perennials, growing as flowering shrubs that reach as much as 10 feet in height. Try fitting one of those in a Christmas gift basket! Many people realize that the brilliant scarlet leaves aren’t actually flowers, they’re modified leaves called “bracts.”

The history of Poinsettias in the US begins with the efforts of Joel Poinsett, a 19th century US ambassador to Mexico and avid amateur botanist (who later founded the Smithsonian Institution). Poinsett brought the plant from Mexico to the US in 1828 and began growing and distributing them from his hot house in South Carolina; it’s generally accepted that the plant picked up the name of Poinsettias around 1836. Today, there are over 100 different varieties of these Christmas flowers available, with red being the most popular color, followed distantly by pink and then white. While they’re grown in all states, 80 percent of commercially distributed Poinsettias in the US come from a single grower in California. In addition to being the most popular Christmas flower in the US, Poinsettias are also the most popular potted plant sold in the country.

Keep the history of Poinsettias in mind when you’re choosing a holiday gift for you friends, family, neighbor or coworkers. While Christmas gift baskets, chocolates, a balsam wreath or freshly baked cookies are always welcome, there’s an awful lot of tradition behind the red-leaved potted plants from Mexico, and they’re the top selling Christmas flowers for good reason.

Christmas Flowers Survive the Change in Traditions

There is just something about the holiday season that brings people closer together. Two lovebirds snuggled up, watching the crackle of the fire, the howl of the snowy wind outside, the warm glow from the decorated Christmas tree, poinsettias adorn every corner of the room, and the children are nuzzled up in their bed, it is like a scene from an old book or Hollywood movie. Actually, the more modern version of this story begins with two individuals, exhausted from a long day at work, watching the flickering lights of the television contrast with the colorful glow from the Christmas tree as the kids run screaming from room to room in anticipation of Santa and the gifts he will bring.

The office party has gone from an elaborate celebration at a local hotel ballroom to a simple hour of food and fun in the middle of the workday. While a few companies still cater in the meal, many have moved to organizing a potluck amongst the employees and decorating the break room with Christmas flowers, streamers, and a few twinkling lights. For fun, employees either decorate their cubicles, or join forces to mass decorate a coworkers cube. In some locations, workers still gather for a Secret Santa gift exchange, though the rules are ever changing.

On a whole, business leaders no longer provide elaborate gifts or costly presents, instead opting to send everyone gift baskets. However, the Christmas gift baskets they send are filled with goodies that can be enjoyed by everyone, rather than a single item that can only be enjoyed by the boss. Many times, the basket will be filled with chocolates, cookies, or popcorn, though a few companies have been known to send teas, wines, and fruit.

Of all the things to change, courtship has remained very similar in its traditions, especially during the holidays. New couples are formed during Christmas parties, young teenagers exchange a beautiful Christmas flower in hopes of receiving their first kiss, and nervous gentlemen propose to their loves before meeting the rest of the family for Christmas dinner. Even newlyweds, with busy schedules and all, find time to slip away for a brief kiss under the mistletoe as a reminder of how much they love each other.

Even though the reality of today’s Christmas is far from the dreams of yesteryear, the season still finds a way to touch the hearts of nearly everyone. Even if it only happens for a few moments, that sense of joy and togetherness is enough to melt the iciest of personalities. Whether it is the laughter of friends at the Christmas party, or watching the children open the Christmas gift basket they have been dreaming of, Christmas still manages to bring everyone together, and for that, it is truly a one of a kind holiday.

The Beauty of Poinsettias

The poinsettia is a bright red Christmas flower that is very popular around the world. Each Christmas, Americans buy this flower in droves. Poinsettias are perfect placed on mantles, tables, and in hallways. Although this flower has become iconic in the states, it actually originates in Mexico, from which country it was brought in the nineteenth century. This spiky red plant is actually a desert plant.

Most people don’t keep these flowers around after the holiday season has passed. In fact, the plant doesn’t usually make it past January. The biggest reason is because this flower is quite inexpensive, and although it adds a lot to a decor during the holiday season, it may be out of place for the rest of the year.

Although red is the most popular color for poinsettias because the plant is used as part of Christmas decor, there are many other colors available as well. There are 200 varieties of poinsettias on the market, including white, pink, and orange.

It’s important to handle the plant carefully if it is going to be used in a home for Christmas because it breaks easily and has quite brittle stems. When buying the plant from a store, make sure there are no broken branches or cracked limbs. Also, the plant will last longer if the flowers have not opened fully.

Having Christmas flowers in a home during the holidays is a good way to add color and vibrancy to the decor. In addition to a tree, flowers such as poinsettias have a way of boosting the mood and giving a room that finishing touch. The number one benefit of Christmas flowers is that they are relatively inexpensive to purchase and make a big impact.

They are also easy to find in many different retail establishments. For those who don’t have time to shop for poinsettias or Christmas flowers in a store, consider shopping online. Online shopping is great for the time strapped, especially during the holidays, when Christmas engagements and other obligations make it difficult to find time to finish Christmas preparations.
