TRADITION

These are the last few days for my photo prompts.  It runs through the end of the year.  So, I thought I would just post them daily through the 31st.

When my husband was alive he would bring home almost daily for about 10 days before Christmas a poinsettia.  We would line the front porch with them.  I loved each and every one he would bring home.  When he passed, that first Christmas was very hard for us.  My daughter went to a party where they passed around gifts until you won one; and, she came home with a poinsettia and placed it on the front porch.  It was very special.  I still make sure to have some poinsettias on the front porch.  It's "Tradition".

Wishing you a Merry Christmas.
 
Quilt happy,
