Poinsettia Party

Today I am joining Beth from Food As Art for her Poinsettia Party.  She will have that party up on Sunday evening.  I just happen to recently come across this Christmas snack set that I thought would make a great Christmas gift but, I am utilizing it for today.  (Mom won't mind.)
  

The mug and plates are bedecked with the prettiest poinsettia images.

Walmart had some of the prettiest poinsettias in a variety of colors, like this pale pink one.

The cookie is one of my favorite.  I think it is official.... my favorite food has to be this Chocolate Chip cookie!
