I got a christmas cactus as a yule present for someone today. My question is,
how do I keep it flowering until the day? I got one which had only one flower
fully out and lots of buds.

Keep it cool (but not too close to freezing)

I've had a Christmas cactus since 1968, each year it has flowered a
little bit earlier, this year it started flowering in October.
