Doh! I forgot: the parade! The Christmas parade is so fun! Sitting down and sipping hot chocolate or sharing a treat bundled up in the cool night air. Aahhhhh.

"Jingle Bells" being sung throughout IASM. It makes the ride a little more bearable...The light show on the building facade is so fun to watch.

Main Street is even more magical. I love seeing the decorated garlands during the day, and lights at night. The snow is also a great addition--it's so fun to watch the kids get excited when it begins to fall.

Pretty much everything seems better. I try to stay away on the really crowded days but we did spend Christmas day there last year and it was terrific. Good weather (I prefer cool to hot) during that season, strolling around looking at the lights and just enjoying it all. My son loves the 'snow' and the whole thing reminds me of my Mom, she was with us the first time we were there while they filmed a holiday time commercial. So I guess I love it even though it tends to make me cry, if that makes sense.
I apologize...rather a bit weepy today.

The deco is the best during the holidays! Some other things....

~holiday food
~characters in holiday outfits
~shiny pretty holiday ornaments to add to your tree, or to give
~the weather is so nice, warm during the day, cool at night
~did I mention the holiday food?

I have not been to the Christmas overlay in years and years. What kind of food is there during the holidays?

There is hardly anyway to describe what I love about it. Like everone else has said: it's just everything!

Even the most miniscule little thing makes the DecemberDisney so absolutely blissful. Only word to really say how it feels.

From what I remember, it was mainly sweet treats. But I have a huge sweet tooth.

I remember, eggnog, spiced cider, gingerbread cookies, pumpkin cheesecake (I think at one of the hotels), and I thought I saw popcorn balls, but I'm not sure if i'm remembering correctly. Also there used to be pumpkin fudge at Marceline's. I get a craving for that every holiday season.

Actually now that you mention it, I don't remember a whole lot of non-sweets holiday food offerings. Anyone else? It seems like one of the cafe's would offer a turkey and gravy type plate during Nov and Dec.

Absolutely everything except for the crowds. The music is WONDERFUL.

I also love everything
but I have to say the music choice they have is great.

The firework show is my favorite (especially Silent Night part)
The snow is also wonderful.

mmmm....
the hot chocolate, the cookies
and my favorite, the peppermint stick ice cream (which they would bring back Egg Nog Ice Cream -- only remember seeing it one year)

The Christmas carolers! There is a group that goes around singing a capella, and they are just terrific. They take requests, and will make up songs about kids using the child's name if they are not too busy. The add that certain Disney touch that just makes the holiday season perfect!
