I had a heck of a time finding one. I finally found one on eBay, from a lady who had actually had the plant in her family for over 100 years. You should have seen her plant, it was about 3 feet in diameter cascading over a HUGE pot. Just gorgeous. She sent me cuttings two years ago, and thus, my Christmas cactus that you see below. This is the true Christmas Cactus. The one sold way back in the day. You can tell this cactus from todays Christmas cactus, because they don't have the sharp points on the leaves like the newer hybrid cactus do.
