Pluto’s Christmas Tree!

If I did things correctly, this should post automatically at night, LIKE MAGIC.

(By the time anyone reads this, I’ll be out drinking tequila. Which is just what the doctor ordered, frankly.)

Here’s one of my favorite Disney shorts, and definitely my favorite Christmassy one.

Pluto’s Christmas Tree, from 1952, more properly belongs to Chip and Dale, who infiltrate Mickey’s humble abode to marvel at his awesome holiday decorations.

The shots of the chipmunks wandering around the tree’s decorated branches RULED MY WORLD as a kid, and still does. It’s because of this short that I adopted a childhood tradition of taking a few cookies and action figures to go lay directly under our family’s Christmas tree, and just stare upward for an hour while using plastic Star Wars characters as my surrogate Disney rodents.

Enjoy. For me, it just isn’t Christmas without this silly cartoon.

In other news, we got our first snowstorm last night. Well, “storm” may be overstating the case, but we got enough snow for me to make my first and potentially only snowball of the season.

It’s the little things.
