The 12 Weeks of Disney Christmas aka I Want t |
| Let me start by saying that I absolutely love the Christmas holiday season.?I always have.?I love the hustle and bustle of shopping, wrapping gifts, decorating, baking, eating, being with friends, my family magicially getting along for one day, etc.
I would even go as far to say that I get giddy when the radio station starts playing Christmas music 24/7 starting on November 1st.Yes, November 1st is a bit too early for some to get into the spirit- I understand that, but usually one can put of holiday cheer until late November without being frowned upon.Unless you are a Disney Cast Member.October 16th marks the start of Christmas.Even with trucks delivering trees, holiday costumes making appearances, training on holiday parade procedures, and people being extra nice, I was not prepared for the onslaught that was appraoching.?I figured that "Christmas" would start the day after Thanksgiving like it does most other palces.No.
Music started on the first.Trees slowly went up backstage.Lights were strung.And then, without notice, Santa and Tinkerbell joined forces and went full force decking out the entire park overnight and forcing everyone into the Christmas spirit on their trip into work the next morning.The morning of November 16th.That day was the beginning of the end of my life.You could not escape the 80 foot tree at the park's entrance.There was no ignoring the holiday music being blared from the park's sound system.?Every night, the park was lit up with over 5,000,000 (that's right bitches, MILLION) Christmas lights that started being strung in AUGUST.It was a lot to take in... but you could get used to it.Seeing Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto decked out in their Holiday best was cute...the first 100 times.Day in and day out, there was more.fucking.cheer.I was officially over Christmas on December 1st.There was no escape.Guests started to wear holiday hats.Pre-shows now included live holiday music.Secret santa plans were formed.Cookies were delivered every 10 seconds.It was re-fucking-diculous.This went on all day, every day for the whole month of December.I had Christmas nightmares.Thoughts of lights catching the place on fire is where I found my salvation.Finally, with the start of the new year, I was confident that Christmas would be over just as quickly as it was sprung upon me.
This was not the case.Christamas ended last week.There is not a trace of anything jolly to be found.Life is back to normal.For now.The plans next year are much bigger.Maybe if I am a good girl, Santa will KILL ME.

Bah fucking humbug. |
