You should see it! It’s really pathetic.

I’m beginning to believe that poinsettias are the worst plant on earth. Why is it that a plant with a high sensitivity to cold air is considered the Christmas plant?

I would like to meet the genius who placed this fragile plant as a symbol of Christmas given the frigid temperatures in which Canadians and Europeans dwell. I don’t mean to sound ethnocentric but let’s face it; most of the world celebrates Christmas during the winter and experiences winter.

How did this plant become so prevalent during the holidays? I only ask because I’ve been given a poinsettia by my boss and I have absolutely no use for it. Not only can I not take it home due to the cold weather but it is continually losing leaves due to bursts of cold air from the outside. You should see it! It’s shrivelling up and its leaves are falling off. It’s really pathetic.
