Poinsettia Plants Did you know that December 12th is Poinsettia Day? This beautiful plant has been displayed in homes and businesses for generations and is recognized as the traditional Christmas plant.  An American botanist, physician and Minister to Mexico by the name of Joel Roberts Poinsett sent cuttings of the plant he had discovered in Southern Mexico to his home in Charleston, South Carolina. Botanically, the plant is known as Euphorbia Pulchritude and the common name is Poinsettia.  Mr. Poinsett died on December 12th in 1851 at the age of 72. December 12th is now known as Poinsettia day in his honor. Poinsettias are the best selling potted plants in the U.S. and Canada. It is estimated the each year the sale of Poinsettias accountant for approximately $250,000,000. In July of 2002, the House of Representatives created Poinsettia Day. In Mexico, the plant is called the Flower of the Holy Night. The Spanish translation is La Flor de la Nochebuena. As the legend goes, a young girl was very upset because she had no gift to honor the Baby Jesus in a Christmas Procession. An angel spoke to her with the message that any gift given with love is the best gift. The young girl then gathered weeds by the roadside to place around the manger. Miraculously these weeds sprouted into the beautiful red star flower we think of as Poinsettia.

Our Peace on Earth Arrangement Christmas Holiday Decorations There is a long history of displaying special Christmas decorations.  One of the first accounts of this dates back to the 15th century. In London there was a custom that every house and all the parish churches were to be decorated with various greenery.  It was said that the heart-shaped leaves of ivy symbolized Jesus coming to earth. Holly provided protection against witches and its thorns and red berries represented the Crown of Thorns worn by Jesus at the crucifixion. Nativity scenes date back as far as the 10th-century in Rome. Saint Francis of Assisi  brought more attention to them and the tradition quickly spread. There are multiple variations of nativity scenes. Ranging from simple representations of the crib to more elaborate scenes designed to feature the manger and historical buildings in Poland. Some feature hand painted terracotta figurines called santons. These are from southern France. Christmas decorations are traditionally red, green and gold. Each color has a symbolic meaning. For example red symbolizes the blood of Jesus that was shed by him during crucifixion. Green symbolizes eternal life. The evergreen tree does not lose its leaves in the winter. The first color associated with Christmas is gold. One of the three gifts of the Magi was gold and symbolizes royalty. Penny's by Plaza Flowers would be delighted to help kick start your holiday season. Our professional floral designers prepare some of the most dazzling flower arrangements and decor you will find! Beautiful Red Roses and Holly   Hanukkah This year the eight -day festival of Hanukkah begins at sunset on Sunday, December 22 when the first candle is lit on the Chanukiah (menorah).  The Hebrew calendar is based on the lunar cycle therefore the dates of Jewish holidays , according to the Gregorian calendar, change from year to year. Due to the changing dates, Hanukkah ranges from early November to late December. There are volumes of data regarding the history and traditions associated with Hanukkah. In short,  Hanukkah commemorates the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem. This re-dedication was possible due to a group of Jewish warriors that defeated the Greek armies that were occupying the Temple.

"Black Friday", as it is referred to today, has the result of retail stores turning big profits. These profits, in accounting terminology, put the retailers "in the black" instead of losing profits or being "in the red". This day is also closely watched by economists to measure the stimulus it has to the United States economy. Since 2005, Black Friday has arguably been the busiest shopping day of the year. Many big name retailers for example, Target, Kohl's and Best Buy to name a few, open their doors at midnight.  Retailers now try to spread the shopping out by offering promotions throughout November and December. Total dollars spent on Black Friday shopping fell in 2014 to a mere $50.9 billion. This was the first drop since the recession in 2008 and was attributed to this extension of holiday promotions.

This Thanksgiving we invite you to please allow one of our professional professional floral designers to prepare an elegant table arrangement guaranteed to dazzle your holiday guests. Beautiful Floral Center Piece The tradition of Thanksgiving I think most of us know that the origin of Thanksgiving dates back to 1621 when the Pilgrims shared a three day feast with their Native American friends. Friends who helped them get established and survive their first harsh winter in a new land that they were not accustomed to. The feast then consisted of dried fruits, boiled pumpkin, turkey, venison and other foods. Now we feast on gourmet smoked turkeys, hams and all types of dressings and desserts. The theme has always stayed true however.  That theme being a time for us to share blessings that have been bestowed upon us and our family and friends. And a time that has evolved from the celebration of the harvest to a time to give thanks for our foundation of this great Nation. It was not until 1863 that Thanksgiving was declared a nation wide holiday by President Lincoln. Did you know that he was strongly encouraged to do this by Sarah Josepha Hale? Its true the original writer of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" was also a driving force for Thanksgiving becoming an official National holiday. Another interesting fact is that the Macy's Day Parade, that has become such great a tradition to watch in many American households, was once put on hold during World War II. Then in 1945 it was reinstated and today remains one of our most loved Thanksgiving Day parades. Penny's by Plaza Flowers would he honored to be a part of the beauty that decorates your home and dinner table this Thanksgiving. We were founded by the Drummond Family and merged with our respected competitors the Pannepackers. Chris Drummond, of Plaza Flowers now called Penny's By Plaza Flowers explained "The Pannepackers are like extended family and the opportunity to continue Penny’s legacy is a dream come true,”  Though these two families, Drummonds and Pannepackers, were competitors for decades, they had mutual respect and friendship that made the merger of the two splendid floral shops a natural fit. With the nationally recognized holiday, Thanksgiving Day, less than two weeks away, it reminds us of the blessings that have been bestowed upon on each of us.

Penny’s By Plaza Flowers has great flowers and gifts as you Honor the Veterans in your life this Veterans Day on November 11th!

Penny's By Plaza Flowers Voted Best Florist In Philadelphia   Monday November 11th is Veterans Day. This is such a great time to honor someone you know who has made incredible personal sacrifices to fight for our country's freedom. Our professional floral designers at Penny's By Plaza Flowers share in that sense of gratitude to our Veterans. We can help you select the perfect flower arrangement, green plant or thoughtful gift basket to make your special Veteran feel the love and appreciation you have for them.   Proud cheerful boy with flowers and American flag Veterans Day Veterans Day is a federal holiday respectfully designated to celebrate the service of all U.S. military veterans. There are other days that coincide with Veterans Day, for example Armistice Day and Remembrance Day. These days are mostly celebrated in other countries and mark the end of World War I. There is a reason why November 11th was selected to be honored as Veterans Day. That reason is that on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, all major hostilities of World War I were formally halted. Then in 1954 the day was renamed from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. Did you know that there is no apostrophe in Veterans Day? Some mistakenly think it is spelled Veteran's or Veterans' Day. That is an honest mistake but the day is designated to multiple veterans not just a single veteran. Therefore there is no apostrophe required. A similar yet very different public holiday is Memorial Day. Both days are created in honor of those who have fought tirelessly to protect our great Nation. The difference is that Memorial Day is designated as a day of remembrance for those who have died defending us while in the military.  Veterans Day is a day to celebrate all U.S. military veterans. Penny's By Plaza Flowers would be delighted to help you pick a sweet gift basket to honor that very special veteran. They will be warmed by your generosity and thoughtfulness when one of our baskets arrives!

Recognized as a national holiday, Thanksgiving originated as a harvest festival. In 1961 the Pilgrims and the Native Americans had a joint celebration feast in honor of their bountiful harvest. Historians estimate there were 143 people that were present for the first Thanksgiving, 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. It is generally regarded as being the beginning of the fall and winter holiday season in our American culture. Of course Thanksgiving is not just a holiday recognized in the United States. Other countries also have their version of giving thanks. Some of those countries are Australia, Canada, Grenada, Liberia, Netherlands, and the Philippines. Their version of the holiday is, in some cases, quite different from our traditional concept. For example in Liberia they celebrate Thanksgiving on the first Thursday of November. The origination is founded on the freedom of African Americans from the United States who then colonized in 1820 to form the country of Liberia. Thanksgiving remains, for those of us in the United States, a grand celebration of our blessings throughout the year. Generally considered the official start of what we refer to as the "Holiday Season",  Thanksgiving is celebrated by spectacular parades like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, sports events and of course the start of the Christmas shopping season. Penny's By Plaza Flowers wants to be part of your festive and joyous holiday season.

It was called  Samhain and the countries of Ireland and Scotland is where the festivals generally took place. Sort of a dark mythology but people believed that during this period of time there was a thinning of the veil that separated the "Otherworld" from the real world. This allowed the spirits and the souls of the dead to cross over back into the world of the living. Obviously people wanted to be on the good side of these spirits so they would prepare food offerings that they hoped would please them. Fortunately today, the tradition of Halloween has taken on a much more joyous theme. Now we carve pumpkins, drink apple cider, have parties and take our kids trick or treating.

The majority of breast cancer cases in women occur at the age of 50 or older. Although an estimated 10% of all new cases in the United States occur with women that are under the age of 45.  Suffice it to say that breast cancer is relentless in its pursuit of stealing the health of many women across the globe.

Statistics reflect that nearly 322,600 breast cancer deaths have been prevented through 2015.  This was a positive trend in both older and younger women.
