Disney Holiday Weakness: Part 2

As you now know from Part 1, I have a total addiction to Disney's holiday merchandise.  Christmas is probably my worst holiday when it comes to my weakness.  The Disney's Days of Christmas store in Downtown Disney, is basically the first place I go as soon as we get there!  Disney already has a few items on their website for Christmas now.  They've been releasing new ornaments here and there.  Which brings me to Part 2 of my confession: I have a special weakness for Disney Christmas ornaments.

I've collected Christmas ornaments in general for a few years now, but I started specifically getting ornaments from Disney every year in 2007.  They have those adorable ornaments with the year and logo on them.  And I have one for every year that I've been since then!  I've also tried to grab a few character ornaments.  And I usually get some from my parents every few years.  Eliot was introduced to my Disney Christmas ornament collection when we started dating, and since then, he's actually bought quite a few ornaments of his own to put on our tree.  (Note: we probably need a second tree...)

Right now, I'm totally in love with the Ear Hat ornaments.  I love hats, especially Ear Hats!  Disney is killing me with all of their awesome designs.  Of course the bride and groom ears are a must for Disney Wedding couples.  And I have a weakness for the Princesses.  Here are a few of my favorites!

Then there's the ornaments based off of the theme park rides.  There's a Pirates AND a Haunted Mansion ornament?  (Disney, if you're trying to completely break my willpower, you've succeeded!)  One of my other favorites from the newest collection is the snowman in the snowglobe from Pixar's Short Knick Knack.  It's my all time favorite Pixar Short and obviously I've never seen any merchandise from it before!  I basically squealed when I saw it!  There's even a little escape door at the bottom like in the short!  How awesome is that?!!?

The other ornament collection that just about knocked me out of my seat was the shoe collection.  I'm a great lover of shoes.  I actually designed some Minnie Mouse shoes to wear at our wedding rehearsal.

So when I saw the shoe ornaments, I knew that would be a great addition to my ornament collection.  I haven't gotten any of them yet, but I'm hoping to collect them over time.

I really wish that they made real shoes just like the ornaments!  How cool would it be to have a pair of Tinkerbell or Rapunzel pumps?

And you can't forget the Villains!  How cool are these?

On top of my ornament collection, I also have various Christmas items to decorate the house with.  I'm so excited that we have a whole house to decorate.  Our apartment has been pretty packed the past few years.  But the addition of a yard and front porch will be fun to work with.  Not to mention the fact that we have the exterior of the house.  Mr. My Disney Life has huge plans for a Christmas light spectacular!

I've also gone to great lengths to collect two Disney Christmas Villages.  I finally found the entire Toontown Village (minus the fountain).  And I'm almost done with my Main St. USA Village.  I think the only buildings I need are the Emporium and Town Hall.  I can't wait to set them up!  I'm hoping to put the Toontown Village in our front window bay so it will be all lit up at night.

In addition to my Christmas collection, I have a few Disney Hanukkah items.  Eliot is Jewish, so I made sure to grab a few Hanukkah things when I spotted them.  Disney Hanukkah merchandise is hard to come by.  There are only a few things that Disney puts out each year.  This year, they actually made a new set of dishes that are really fun and modern looking.  I absolutely love them!  And they look like they'll go pretty well with my Happy Hanukkah wall banner from a few years ago!  I might have to get a few of those wine glasses…

I also have some great ideas for some Disney Christmas and Hanukkah themed crafts.  Needless to say, I'm sure that we'll have our own Spectacle of Disney Chrismukkah Wonder come December.  °o°
