I have always loved Christmas. I have a lot of great memories of Christmas's past. From back when I was boy until now. Christmas is a very special time of the year. I love running into old friends while shopping for my wife. Going into the different stores and seeing all their decorations. I play Christmas music on the car radio and on the computer. I love hearing the old songs by Bing Crosby and Perry Como. I enjoy the songs from when I was high school done by Elvis, The Crystals, The Ronettes, The Four Seasons, Connie Francis and Brenda Lee to name a few. How about a sugar cookie? Nothing beats a good old fashion sugar cookie. Yes, we still get calls about electric trains. I make sure to take time to talk to them and to try to answer all their questions. Christmas is almost here. Please take the time to enjoy it, or better yet, make somebody's Christmas enjoyable.
Exactly Jim, that is what Christmas is all about; the sights, the sounds and the smells, especially the smells. We always run trains so you can smell the smoke and the ozone.
My wife bakes a lot of cookies every year and that smell blends in with the trains. Usually chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and anisette. Plus turkey on Christmas!
Most of my shopping is done online now, thanks Amazon, but I still get to the local stores and see some old friends. Some of the music is the old standards and some new.
Trains under the tree; this year it's the Peanuts Christmas Train with the passenger cars.
Almost Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas everyone!
