My 12 Days of Christmas, Disney-Style

(Editor’s Note: As Christmas is one week from today, I am taking the liberty of re-running a favorite Disney/Christmas post from years past – since I have yet to receive any of these gifts, maybe this year it will finally happen. I mean, a girl can hope, right? 🙂 )

“On the First Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree…..”

And so goes the song, sharing what her (his?) True Love gave as gifts over the 12 Days of Christmas. While this traditional version finds the songwriter to be the lucky recipient of some pretty odd tokens of affection, (12 drummers drumming…..really? Sounds pretty noisy, and like something I would probably be returning.), it does make modern gift-givers in search of that perfect present wonder: What 12 items could I give my True Love?

Well if my wonderful hubby is reading, honey here is what you could get this particular Disney-lover for the 12 Days of Christmas. (And please note, unlike the original version, there is no need to repeat items over subsequent days – one of each is sufficient, thank you very much.) Read more
