Thanks for sharing you have a wonderful family tradition. Was in Midtown last Sunday for a show and did see some of the sites you posted. Where were the trains with the lighted city buildings? Hope to see you at Trainstock.

Geez Skip, it's like revisiting my childhood growing up there and working at Macy's selling trains in 1963.
Merry Christmas.

Thanks for bringing Christmas in the Big Apple to those of us who can't get there! Awseome photos; I chuckled at the one of the pizza, definitely got the taste buds excited! Thanks so much for sharing!

In Grand Central Terminal is the Metropolitan Transit Authority Museum Store. TW Trainworx sets up a great Lionel Train Layout in the museum store every year.

Hey Joe...
The pizza was on 42nd Street right around the corner from 5th Avenue!. It looked so festive I had to take a picture!
It wasn't too long after that my daughter and I had to go though Trump security on 5th Ave to get to Tiffany's and no sooner did we get inside, you called! An expensive stop for sure.
I hope you and the Sadorf/Thomas families had the best Christmas ever!!! Love to all

This year Don, Skipsmus fell right on Festivus!!!! It is much like Festivus without the "airing of grievances."
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
