Disneyland on Christmas Day

, 2 Comments on Disneyland on Christmas Day

As per our tradition, Patrick and I spent Christmas Day at Disneyland. Last year I went with an extremely casual outfit, but this year I went rather extravagant. I’m sure some of you are probably familiar with the brand Selkie, which makes gorgeous fairy tale-esque dresses and other garments. This year they released a holiday collection featuring red and white stripes, which happen to be a weakness of mine. So I finally bit the bullet and bought the most ridiculous dress.

I absolutely loved running around feeling like a Christmas princess, but if I’m perfectly honest, I did not spend all day in it. We ate a leisurely breakfast, rode the Mark Twain, and as it grew closer to lunchtime I realized I just couldn’t handle all day in the gown. So we quickly went back to the car and I swapped for a more casual outfit to enjoy the parade and more attractions.

And as today is New Year’s Eve, this will be my last post of 2024! Due to our office renovation that we are currently in the middle of, we opted not to have a New Year’s party, but we will be headed to a friend’s house this evening to ring in 2025.

I hope that you all have had a lovely holiday, no matter what you celebrate, and that you have a wonderful and safe New Year’s Eve tonight! See you in 2025!

  2. Ridiculous? Oh, good golly, you are absolutely stunning in that dress. Had I seen you at Disneyland, I would have asked for your autograph.
