Fox & Friends Train Commercial

A toy train around the Christmas tree is more than a tradition; it's an absolute "must"! 

 

But the TV folks would always prefer to show something animated rather than just a static scene, so a toy train fits in very well and is a natural.

Agreed! Not many can say this in my opinion but I had a 4-8-8-4 going AROUND THE ROOM! The track ran around the tree and around the presents! My dad smartly put it away so I couldn't hurt it because I was so young.

Growing up with Thomas the tank engine was the **** back in the day (pardon my language) but that seems to be dying out! Now all the people my age (or very few) like the idea of even collecting trains! They're more than model trains. Theyre pieces of history that can last generations! I recently bought a DD40AX diesel at a local train shop that sells O gauge only, and I am not opening it!

I see more trains on FNC than anywhere else, mostly because of the Bass Pro Shop commercials.

And thankfully they call it a Christmas tree .. not a "holiday tree "

As someone who does not celebrate Christmas and ALWAYS uses "Happy Holidays" on his cards, there is NO SUCH THING as a "Holiday Tree".  Ornamented and/or lighted evergreen trees are an acoutrement of CHRISTMAS. Therefore they're CHRISTMAS TREES.

I am so tired of those bemoaning the whole "War on Christmas" nonsense.  Really, you can't turn on the television or the radio without be bombarded with Christmas.  Can't we all stop feeling persecuted long enough to enjoy the holiday?
