On this December 12 holiday, we celebrate a beautiful seasonal flower and John Poinsett who brought them to the United States. Beautiful Poinsettia flowers are a well-recognized symbol of the Christmas season. National Poinsettia Day was officially declared by an Act of Congress. It is in honor of Joel Roberts Poinsett, who died on December 12, 1851. Joel Roberts Poinsett was the first Ambassador to Mexico He was also a botanist and a physician. He was fascinated by this bright flower de saw blooming in December in Mexico. Poinsett brought this colorful plant back to his plantation in the U.S. He grew the plants in his Greenville, S.C plantation and gave them out as gifts to friends.

According to Mexican folklore, there is a story of a little poor girl who had nothing to bring to church for Christmas. On her way to church, she picked some plants by the side of the road. As she entered the church, the leaves at the tips of the branches, called bracts, turned into bright, brilliant red flowers. You guessed it… they were Poinsettias.

Small Business Saturday is held each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. And, it’s a really important day for your neighborhood retail shops, helping them to get a slice of the huge holiday market.

Small Business Saturday is the much smaller kid brother to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Small businesses participate in Black Friday and Cyber Monday. However, their efforts are dwarfed by the big, national chains, and the monster-sized Amazon. Small businesses do not have the advertising budgets and brand awareness to compete with the big stores on these two mega-shopping days. Sales numbers on these two days can be lower for small businesses, as consumers focus upon the many deals the big stores offer and advertise over every media outlet in existence.

🍬How Sweet it is (to do Physical Therapy)! 🍬

How on earth can physical therapy help with diabetes, you might ask?

Well, physical therapy can be an important part of preventing and managing diabetes, primarily because your physiotherapist can recommend a range of aerobic, strength, and flexibility exercises that cause muscles to use sugar for energy and for your body to use insulin more effectively.

We can also help with tailoring an exercise plan for you, whatever your current level of fitness or other conditions, as exercise and weight management benefits all types of diabetes.

Tucked between the two monster-sized holidays of Halloween and Christmas is Thanksgiving, which is a monster of a holiday, too. However, it receives far less attention than it should. Thanksgiving is a very important holiday, especially in the busy lives of busy Americans. And, Thanksgiving traditions and history abound. It is a time to slow down, kick back and relax. On this day, we pause to enjoy the four Fs: Family, Food, Fun, and Football. Watch a football game or go to a movie, and enjoy a huge feast, most often with a roasted turkey as the main attraction. It’s also time for us to give thanks for the things and people that we are grateful for.

Have an amazing Thanksgiving, from Fyzical Therapy and Balance Centers West Caldwell! 🍂🍁🦃
