That's a good idea about the Poinsettia. I would do that too but can't because they are poisonous to birds. Can't risk putting one out and have my bird take a bite. She generally stays away from my plants but still... I'd worry.I downsized holiday decorations a couple of years ago.
I still have one small box with a ceramic tree, nativity, and a couple free standing ornaments.
This year I’m going to leave the box in the closet and buy a big fat poinsettia.
If Christmas arrives on time, as usual, I’ll donate the box to a charity shop before the new year.
