Carol and I look forward to the Christmas season every year. She likes to decorate for the holidays and I really enjoy the results of her efforts. As you might expect, our love of all things Disney reflects in our Christmas décor!

In our living room we have a very traditional Christmas tree; decorated with lights, coloured balls and festive garland. It stands in front of the window and is visible to all who walk or drive past.

But downstairs in our family room, our sanctuary, where Carol and I spend a lot of our time, is our favourite symbol of the Christmas season, our Disney Christmas tree.

It is 100% Disney from top to bottom.

Every ornament reflects our passion for Disney. Carol has been collecting Disney ornaments for years and years. Some are brand new and others are old and irreplaceable!

It takes Carol a long time to decorate the Disney tree. Most of the ornaments are in their original packaging to protect them from damage, and as she carefully unwraps them the memories from past trips to Walt Disney World come flooding back.

There’s a lot of reminiscing as Carol carefully arranges them all. Each memento from those old Disney adventures has to be in just the right spot! Sometimes the result can be startling!

Is Tinker Bell really longing for one of those free kisses? Would Snow White approve?

There are many different Disney characters on our tree, some of them have been around for decades, others are very recent additions to the Disney family!

Dozens of classic animated feature films, cartoons and TV Specials are represented.

Some ornaments depict Disney’s most popular couples enjoying the Christmas season.

Other ornaments are much more whimsical.

How cute can the ornaments be?

Yes, the book reads “Not a creature was stirring . . .”

Some of the ornaments are animated, some are musical and some are illuminated. It’s quite dazzling when it’s all done!

Push a button and the lights on Mickey’s house flash in time with the music it plays!

The drum flashes with light and keeps time to the music as this ornament plays “M-I-C . . . K-E-Y . . . M-O-U-S-E”

Mickey’s sorcerer hat lights up on this little beauty!

It must be a Space Walk! Astronaut Mickey is holding Goofy who is dangerously close to the rocket’s exhaust nozzle. The exhauts pulses with light as Mickey struggles to save Goofy.

All the shiny balls adorning the tree are shaped like classic Mickey heads!

And if you look closely at that garland you will spot plenty of Hidden Mickeys!

Our Disney Christmas Tree gives us a lot of pleasure every year and we hope that you have enjoyed this little glimpse of it.

At this jolly time of year Carol and I would like to pass along our Christmas wish for you. No matter what you celebrate during this festive season, we sincerely hope that each and every one of you are able to share joyful times with family, friends and those you love most.

Merry Christmas!
