Celebrate Hanukkah with Beautiful Floral Displays
This year, Hanukkah is December 10--December 18th. Known as the Festival of Lights in Judaism. There are many traditions that are celebrated during this special holiday. These special traditions include lighting the menorah, a nine-branched light holder that is lit each night until all the eight days of the Hanukkah festival are celebrated. Another tradition involves some delicious foods, including fried foods like potato pancakes known as latkes and jelly donuts. Then, there is playing dreidel, a game that commemorates Jewish heritage. Finally, Hanukkah involves giving gifts during nightly gift exchanges. This has only been recent addition to Hanukkah celebrations, added during the late nineteenth century. Most importantly, this is a time for family and close friends to focus on what you are grateful for from the past year. And, now, more than ever, this level of gratitude and appreciation for health and each other. This is also an opportune time to focus on how you will practice more gratitude and kindness going forward.

It will just be different in some ways but still focus on the incredible accomplishments of San Diego high school grads and college grads. Here are some ways to celebrate the Class of 2020 in San Diego: Decorate your home, inside and outside, with graduation-themed streamers and banners.

Locally Grown Lilacs and Peonies Available for a Limited Time!
We're so excited to tell you that locally grown lilacs and peonies are now available in our San Diego flower shops! It's that time of year where we can offer San Diego lilacs and San Diego peonies from our local San Diego flower farm partners. Just think, when you buy these floral beauties, you are not only supporting a San Diego florist, but you are also supporting another locally owned San Diego business. And, for that, we say, thank you! In return, you get to enjoy some of the most beautiful flowers available.

They make thoughtful gifts for graduation, birthdays, get-well gifts, and more. These flowers also add a splash of color to your own home, offering cheerful messages to brighten our days. We offer many choices of floral designs that feature lilacs or peonies on their own as well as [...]
