Hi Betty,
One thing I have noticed about Christmas cacti is that in order to bloom, they must have some uninterupted dark - similar to what they would get if we didn't have electric lights. Put your cactus in a room you don't tend to use much in the evening and therefore has the "natural" dark cycle.
Good luck!
