"There are some wonderful aspects to Christmas. It's wonderful.  And each year, from at least November, well, September, well, if I am honest, May, I look forward to it hugely." -Miranda Hart, Is it Just Me?

Pointsetta's are the flowers of the season.  If you have some silk leafs left from fall, these are easy to make and put int between ornaments can jazz up a Christmas tree.  You can also use the flowers to decorate napkin rings, or make a bunch for a floral arrangement.
