#Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop: Merry Christmas!

Tweet

Merry Christmas Eve! Thanks for stopping by The Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop here at Focused on the Magic.com where each week we gather with other Disney Bloggers to link up and share our Wordless Wednesday Disney related travel picture posts.

Our theme this week is, Joy!

Since this is Christmas Eve I thought I'd share some of our favorite Christmas Walt Disney World pictures and is a tradition here on the blog, music from our Silhan Family Musical Christmas album which was recorded in our home studio by members of our family over the years.

The young children have all grown, my dear sweet MIL and FIL have since passed away. So, this is packed with truly magical and joy filled memories for us.

I'd like to thank all of you for stopping by each week to share the magic with us. It's truly my favorite day of the week. I love seeing all the wonderful memories you have captured.
Have a Healthy, Happy & Magical Holiday!

2012 Countdown to Christmas

Tweet

It's December 1st, time to start the Focused on the Magic 2012 Countdown to Christmas. We'll be focusing our merry little posts on the magic of Christmas in the Disney parks and at home, right through to Christmas Eve on the 24th of December.

Tis the season for sharing the magic and we'd like to share it with you! We would love to see your Christmas Disney related posts. Are you ready?

Let the countdown begin with merry music:

I would like to kick off the countdown with a short little musical Merry Christmas slide show. We love Christmas music in our family and enjoy singing it any opportunity we get. One Christmas more than a few years back we arranged for everyone to contribute to this album. The task was to have all of the songs and instruments performed and recorded by our immediate and extended family. From the little babies to the elderly we got each person down in different sessions in our home studio. In the end we had a wonderful family musical celebration. The pictures were taken during Christmastime in Disney World. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it.
