I've got a Christmas tree train for the first time in 43 years!

The Christmas Unicorn Express!!  I love it.  Our older daughter is still fascinated with unicorns, and she will be 30 soon!  She believed they were a real or extinct animal until way older than almost anyone else.

That is a great start to a Christmas tree train after 43 years!

Looks brilliant to me, Jeff. Hope you and the family have a great Christmas!

PD

Jeff, it looks great. As long as it brings JOY to the family...That's all that counts!

Merry Christmas

I don't think I'll ever have the heart to tell my girls that fantasy animals like unicorns, Pegasus and narwhals aren't real!

What, narwhals are real!  
We let her find out on her own about unicorns, Santa, etc

LOL, a giant unicorn whale with a magical horn, that's rich. OK, Mark...I won't be the one to break the news that narwahls are make-believe.

Next you're going to try to convince me that Elves are magical little critters that play with trains while we sleep...

Ummm, Jeff, Narwhals are marine mammals (a type of whale, as the name indicates):

Jeff, I am totally with you!!!    First of all, I had never even heard of a narwhal until one of our daughters brought it to our attention a few years ago.  Even at that, I thought they were not real because all both daughters showed us were drawings on garments, etc.  Finally, it was only recently that I become aware they are real animals. 

The elf with the remote looks great!!!

@palallin: I don't know about you, but I tend to be skeptical of things I read on the internet.  For example, a poster on this very board not long ago referred to this:

As a "boilerplate".  Imagine!  Then he posted this image:

That's clearly not a real thing, right?  A plate on the front of a boiler?  Get outta here!

What exactly is a "National Geographic" anyway? Sounds like made up stuff to me. 

Bottom line is there is no way this

is a real animal, and I am really going to be sad for my girls when they come to grips with that.

Zing!

Jeff, it looks perfect.
