Disney Christmas

Here are a few of my favorite Disney Christmas shorts. The first is Wintertime, part of the larger film Melody Time. It was art directed by the master, Mary Blair, who created the look of most of the Disney films of the late forties and early fifties. She later designed the theme park ride It's a Small World.

It has been a very full couple of weeks! Enjoyed last Saturday Christmas shopping with my friend Paul... snooping through antique stores, gift shops and book stores, including a very chic antique place called Flower Child that features vintage mid-century furniture (think martini glasses and Danish modern furniture and those light-up china Christmas trees). Sunday, I went with Paul and his friends, Diane and Mindy to hear the Cleveland Philharmonic play Peter and the Wolf, accompanied not just by a narrator, but also a dance troupe, the Verb Ballets! Then finished the weekend by decorating my Christmas tree.

This Saturday, made the pilgrimage to A Christmas Story house...

then continued in the Christmas spirit on a leisurely drive through downtown to Cleveland Playhouse to see the Festival of Trees.



Made our way up to Coventry and had a late lunch at Hunan Coventry and, of course, spent a lot of time at Big Fun and City Buddha.
