Am I the only one who finds poinsettias creepy? Apparently not. And yet, they’ve somehow escaped the widespread opprobrium that has attached to fruitcake as a Christmas tradition. It’s already too late this year, but poinsettophobes should organize a campaign in 2006 to squelch the usual yuletide proliferation of those garish plants. Marketers of nicer winter flora, of which there’s plenty, can secretly back the effort.
