Christmas flowers symbolize good times, love, hope and beauty. These sentiments make Christmas more special than most other occasions we celebrate. Christmas flowers are most often used to decorate homes during the holidays as wreaths or centerpieces, but why not give a beautiful bouquet or floral basket to your loved ones for gifts this year? What better way to let them know how you feel about them and to spread the cheer of the season?
Flower shops have beautiful arrangements that are perfect for this time of year. You can even have them delivered, which will save you a little time (and who can’t use a little extra time, especially around the holidays?). Flowers make a wonderful hostess gift when attending a Christmas party, and they are the perfect gift for those family members and friends who live far away.
There are two types of flowers that I think are perfect for gift giving. The first one being the most obvious, the Poinsettia. These bright red star-shaped flowers are also known as the “Flower of the Holy Night.” This flower represents the deep love for Christ and the great devotion of the perfect, deep love of the pure, innocent baby Jesus.
The other perfect Christmas flower that comes to mind is the Christmas Rose. This flower also symbolizes faith, love and devotion to Jesus Christ. This flower is believed to bloom in the mountains of Central Europe during the dead of winter during the snowy season. It has white flowers with pink-tipped petals. It is also called the Snow Rose or Winter Rose.
