It's that magical time of year - .88 cent poinsettia time!

I am NOT a Black Friday shopper.  Early mornings and big crowds are definitely not my scene, especially after a long busy day of cooking.

But every year, on Black Friday, there is one sale I can't resist - Lowe's sells tiny poinsettias for 88 cents.  My husband always makes a trip to Lowes and buys me 12, so I can put them all around the house.

They last through New Year's, and may be my favorite Christmas decoration after the tree.

Years ago I painted some tiny pots and decoupaged vintage Christmas postcards on them.  The poinsettias fit in them perfectly.

The last two years my husband got to Lowe's too late and all the poinsettias had sold.  So many people have moved to this area, they cleared out early.  It just wasn't the same.

This year, he got there before noon and came home triumphant.

Christmas is officially on it's way now!

A flat of poinsettias for under $12 - this is bargain holiday cheer!

I guess it's time to get the fall decor put away...

Hello Christmas!
