One of our favourite sources of rich and vivid red over the Christmas period is the poinsettia. These plants have an unmistakable appearance, and people welcome them into their homes all across the globe as a festive decoration. But where do they come from? Why are they festive? Are they poisonous? Are those leaves or flowers? Let’s take a look at some answers…

They have become, in the last five years or so, one of the country’s favourite Christmas decorations. But what exactly are they and where did they come from?

We love that feeling that is generated by the cosiness and warmth of home during the festive period. There are lots of different factors which come together to create this magical feeling. Some of those will be to do with the joyful sense of returning to family and friends over the winter break. You might also get a literal feeling of warmth from a glowing fire! But then, there are many ways in which that welcoming, warm, relaxing feeling can be enhanced by the stylistic choices you make with your Christmas décor. One such style that can work wonders is the alpine Christmas theme.
