I understand the food issues. I too have changed my way of eating and am wondering how I'm going to approach the season this year. I'm trying to form a plan now, lol!
Everyone seems to be in the mood for Christmas early this year which I think is good! I love your photos of poinsettias growing in their natural habitat. I've never seen that before; here, they are always in pots because they generally don't survive. I know I've never been able to keep one alive until the next Christmas season!
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day!
