Poinsettia Cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Red decorating sugar, for garnish
Cream butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add confectioners' sugar; beat well. Beat in the egg and extracts. Blend in the flour and salt. Form the dough into two disks and wrap them in plastic. Chill the dough well.
Remove one disk from the refrigerator. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares, then cut from each corner of the square almost to the center. Turn over every other cut point to the center and press gently, forming a pinwheel (or poinsettia). Sprinkle the center of each with red sugar. Repeat with the second disk of dough.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the cookies on greased baking sheets and bake until very lightly golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Makes about 5 dozen cookies.

Mason Jar Lids & Screw Bands - Standard - PoinsettiaView This Product at Amazon
These metal SNAP lids and screw bands for mason jars seal home canned foods airtight. After heat processing and upon cooling, a vacuum is formed which seals the lids onto the jars. The lids are gold laquered to prevent rust and have an interior enamel coating to resist natural food acidity. The closures fit standard mouth (70 mm) mason jars.
Poinsettia design.
Pack of 6 lids and screw bands.
Screw bands can be reused, but SNAP lids are designed for one-time use only.
For best results, fill hot jar with prepared recipes, leaving recommended headspace. Wipe jar rim and threads with a clean, damp cloth removing any stickiness. Center hot SNAP lid on jar. Apply screw band just until fingertip tight; do not overtighten. After processing, remove jars from canner and set upright on a towel in a draft-free place. Do not retighten screw bands or check for seal while jars are hot. Cool processed jars upright, undisturbed for 24 hours. After 24 hours, check seals. Sealed lids curve downward and do not move when pressed. (Any unsealed jars should be reprocessed or refrigerated.) For all sealed jars, remove screw bands; wipe and dry bands and jars. Store screw bands separately or replace loosely on jars, as desired.

Called la flor de la Nochebuena--the flower of the Holy Night--in Mexico, the poinsettia blooms at Christmastime, the symbol of a little girl's unselfish gift to the Christ Child.

The Miracle of the First PoinsettiaView This Product at Amazon
Originally native to Mexico, beautiful poinsettia plants decorate homes around the world every holiday season. But few people who love the plant s deep red tones know the traditional Mexican tale about how the poinsettia first came to be. In this extraordinary collaboration, Fabian Negrin brings his warm, glowing scenes to Joanne Oppenheim s thoughtful narrative, transporting readers to Old-World Mexico and into the arms of a young girl as her trust leads her straight into a miracle. A beautiful alternative to the traditional nativity story, this book is a wonderful evocation of Mexican customs and culture.

BED:STU Men's Poinsettia BeltView This Product at Amazon
With its poinsettia design, this handmade BED:STU belt is the obvious choice for a holiday accessory, yet when not paired with green cords and reindeer sweater, you don't really notice the foliage pattern. In fact, unless you're standing really close, the design looks more abstract than botanical. This unusual leather belt features a removable silver buckle and five inches of adjustability for a better fit, and it looks great with corduroy pants and dark denim.
