The flower looks a little more like my orchid cactus (Epyphillum) than a Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera). Mine has been in bloom for a couple weeks, and usually blooms again in spring. Right along with my 'Thanksgiving' blooming Christmas cacti. The flowers on the Orchid cactus are rounder (like your picture), while the flowers on the Christmas cactus are more elongated, with the petals folded back (see pic). Their both really pretty and brighten up the house on these gray winter days!
