Disneyland Tree to Be Auctioned on eBay

"Leonardo DiCaprio, Christina Aguilera, Susan Sarandon, Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher, Kirk Douglas, Keith Urban and William Shatner are among the 41 celebrities who have contributed their imagination and creativity in personally decorating gold holiday ornaments that are shaped in the familiar three-circle design of Mickey Mouse. These one-of-a-kind celebrity designed ornaments adorn a 7-foot tall artificial tree that has been augmented by various commemorative Disneyland 50th Anniversary decorations for a total of 50 ornaments. The tree is topped with a miniature version of the special 50th Anniversary tree-topper that presently sits upon Disneyland's signature 60-foot tall Christmas tree in Town Square.

"Bidding on the tree, with all of its special holiday ornaments, will begin at $1 to encourage as many bidders as possible for such a worthy cause. The auction can be found at www.ebay.com and closes at 4:00pm/PST (7:00pm/EST) on Thursday, December 8. The celebrity ornaments are currently on display through Sunday, December 4, on Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland."

I almost bid on it just to say that I did, since I'm fairly certain that I would be outbid... but then, what if I wasn't? I don't have that kind of money.

I think its a great idea of all those celebrities to be taking some time designing something that would benefit from the children effected by all those hurricanes. It is a bit expensive (currently 5,500.00)!

I think the nicest ornament designed was the one by Courtney Cox and David Arquette.

Agreed.

Although look at the effort that went into Donald Trump's!
