Blooming Christmas Cactus

I have grown Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) for many years. Living in a mild and temperate climate, I get blooms a few times a year, and the colors are magnificent. Do you have any Christmas cactus? I hope you do as they are easy to grow and you can produce new plants by taking cuttings (break them off by hand) and they readily grow in my beach type climate. When my daughters were growing up, I used to tell them: "Christmas is Coming! The Christmas cactus are blooming! The blossoms are such a marvelous and very colorful reminder of the Holiday Season.
