How to celebrate Dec 12th

After indulging in your gingerbread house, head out to a local greenhouse or garden center to pick up a beautiful poinsettia plant. Whether as a gift or for yourself, the vibrant red leaves can bring a festive touch to any space. Don’t forget to water it regularly and place it in a spot with plenty of sunlight.
For a snack, whip up a batch of ambrosia salad. Mix canned fruit, coconut, marshmallows, and whipped cream for a sweet and tangy treat. Enjoy it as a side dish or a dessert after your main meal.

Lastly, take a few minutes to declutter and organize your space in honor of Lost & Found Day. Sort through items you no longer need and consider donating them to a local charity.
