Yesterday, I spent the afternoon shopping for the perfect tree to bring home, and relished in the nursery as they cut my tree, as I allowed the smell of pine and vanilla candles to fill me up! I just can’t wait to decorate it.

Some might say that I purchased my lovely tree too early. Crazy, right? I mean, the folks at Disneyland began decorating their trees back on November 13th. No, really!

Check out the video, I’m not making this up.

Besides, tomorrow is December 1st, and the best way to kick off the most magical month of the year is by singing carols while trimming the tree!

 

Merry Christmas!

I’ll keep this short and sweet. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas today! I hope you are all enjoying the best day of the year! Need a little Dose of Disney to get you started today? I think this video is appropriate. Remember the Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade begins at 10:00am on ABC! Enjoy!

Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas

Remember this movie?

I encourage you to watch it today! Thankfully Netflix has added it, or I might have forgotten how much I love this movie. My favorite of the 3 short films? A Very Goofy Christmas, of course! But you can’t overlook the last installment, Gift of the Magi. It’s super sweet and features our favorite mouse-couple! Aaaw 🙂

Fun Fact Friday! #156

Can you believe that at this time next week, all this hustling and bustling in preparation for Christmas will be over? We all have our own ways of preparing for the special holiday. For example, every year I spend about 3 hours, at least, perfecting my Christmas Village. And on Christmas Eve, we host our family with dinner. While my siblings and I are all in our 20’s now, we still spend Christmas Eve together, sleeping at our parents house.

I agree, Wendy, but we all have too. All children do... except one.

There are also some special Christmas traditions at Walt Disney World. The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Hollywood Studios. Epcot’s Candlelight Procession. And of course, the building of the ginormous, 16-foot tall Gingerbread House located at the Grand Floridian.

But here are some astounding numbers that sum up part of what makes it a Winter Wonderland at Walt Disney World:

  •  It takes 150 semi-trailer truckloads full of decorations to decorate 24 resorts, 4 theme parks, Downtown Disney and other Disney ® locations.
  • There are an astonishing 1,300 decorated trees throughout property.
  • The 70-foot-tall tree in Disney’s Contemporary Resort entrance lobby features nearly 35,800 white LED lights
