If Disney is the most magical place on Earth and Christmastime is the most magical time of year its no wonder they go together like Peanut Butter & Jelly (or Banana if thats your fancy). My home sparkles with the magical shimmer of Disney all year but at Christmas there are no decorations as fun or whimsical. We have a ton of stuff but I guess the best place to start is the tree.
We collect ornaments from our trips. We also collect ornaments when we go to Disney on Broadway shows and other Disney-related life events (like the bride and groom ears from Lenox among others). We always come home from Disney World trips with one (or two or three). We used to just get the “yearly” ones but this year we also ended up with a 40th anniversary of Magic Kingdom one as well as both Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty’s castles since we visited both Disney World and Disneyland this year.
My mom also started a Hallmark tradition with us as kids where we would pick out an ornaments every year for the tree. Even though I am married and out of the house picking out an ornament with her is one of my favorite parts of the holidays. 🙂
Aside from our tree we have the Disney Store collectible snowglobe pairs, a Christmas card holder, about a half dozen stuftees, are always fully stocked in Disney cocoa, and OF COURSE I incorporate it into my Christmas baking.

I even get my car in the mix (which I have affectionately named Little Blue). I grabbed this antennae topper (and never was I happier to still have an antenna on my car… lol) when I was down in Disney in October!
And last but certainly not least, a few years back Disney Store’s holiday merchandise was a real retro classic look with stitching along the edges and a more vintage look to the characters. I picked up a stocking for me, my hubby, and our pup (Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto of course). These are probably my favorite of all our Disney Christmas decorations because Christmas makes me feel so nostalgic for times I never even lived during.
And I guess the magic stays the whole year through because these are just my favorites and I have a home and heart filled with Disney and its magic. I know there are lots of people today who still don’t get it but I do, and you do if you are reading this. One of my favorite Walt Disney quotes is something he and I both have in common…
“People who have worked with me say I am ‘innocence in action’. They say i have the innocence and unself-consciousness
Happy Holidays! xoxo Melissa
