Although I am very fond of the holiday season, I often find myself woefully behind on celebrating it. Often, our household ends up postponing a lot of the actual enjoyment of Christmas things–movies, music, etc.–in lieu of meeting the many cheerful obligations that must needs be met before the actual Christmas Day. I understand many people have their tree up directly after Thanksgiving, and then are briskly sweeping the last of the needles out to the curb the day after Christmas. I understand that these families exist, and yet they are as remote from us, who only get our tree down when the city threatens to stop recycling them, as a functioning Yeti.

Perhaps you too, are not completely tired of the holiday season? After all, even Disneyland is keeping their ornamentation up until Three Kings Day, this year. If, like me, you are just now getting the time to relax into the seasonal spirit, I offer up some festive images from some of the various parks and resorts I visited recently.

From the East Coast, to the West, and off to the Far East, best wishes for the upcoming year!
