Calling all the Texans out there. What kind of cactus is this? Is it a Christmas Cactus or something else?

Yes thats me, lol! I bit cool this morning and I need to keep my back warm or it spasms on me.

My guess is a Christmas Cactus, but it is the biggest one I've ever seen!!! It sure is beautiful and full of blooms. I love those, but always kill them, not intentionally, but dead just the same. Hugs & Blessings, Judy in Amarillo

From the bloom - I would guess a Christmas Cactus. But it IS the biggest I have ever seen.

Dito! It is very big. Don't know that I have seen one so large before. Wish mine would stay alive and grow so nice with beautiful blooms. Flowers to you.

I don't think it's a Christmas cactus. It doesn't grow as far North as Austin, that's for sure. It looks like it has spines, does it?

Thank you for all the responses and flowers to you all! Merry CHRISTmas and Happy New Year to You all!
I am doing what I need to for my back, so hopefully I won't have to many issues with it while I'm on vacation and I'm enjoying the dancing and beautiful weather!

Is the pink part a flower or the fruit that formed after the flower died? To me it looks like a relative of the prickley pear which is a noxious weed here

My guess, it IS a Christmas cactus, as I have a variety much smaller in my sunroom, here in Georgia (USA)! But, we all know everything is BIGGER in Texas!!
Hugs,
