I am! Actually just added the train yesterday. Probably will run for another week or two. I just don't think it's Christmas without tinplate under the tree. I hope everyone had a safe and Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

Nice Presidents set. I was running ours up until about 3 minutes ago.
Probably only until this weekend sometime.
Yup. The grand kids have been here a lot the past few weeks so it will stay up a little longer. The outside decorations including the 5' blow up Thomas are down though.

Ha! Steve, same here although mine somewhat came down in the wind we had here Christmas Eve. Taking the rest down took minutes! As for inside, we'll probably leave the tree and train up till our cousins come for Christmas whenever we have it. We had a winter storm warning Chrismas Eve that forced us to postpone till whenever.
This is the last weekend for the tree, probably down Saturday. Then the track will move down to the basement for a few weeks. With a new Legacy System and Legacy Mikado my bride is more interested than usual!!
Marty W,
Real nice Tin my man, real nice. Ya we are still running the Christmas layout here also, at least for the next couple weeks.

yep! since wet cut our tree down ourselves, it lasts quite a while. We all like the decorations,the Boss likes having me in the same room instead of down in the basement, so it'll be up for a while yet.
Haven't actually turned the tree and train on for a few days. They are coming down this weekend. Engine and caboose will return to the layout, Christmas cars in the box until next year!
The Christmas Carpet Railway, tree and all decorations will be up for about another week and then the laborious task of dismantling and repacking everything begins. Love putting everything up but hate taking it down.
Our tree and layout are still up. Outside decorations got put away this week and we have been slowly taking things down this week.
The tree will probably come down this weekend during the football games but the layout will hopefully stay until the first weekend in Feb. My son thinks we ought to leave it up year round!!!!
Usually the tree comes down New Years day. But this year, I got a little lazy and decided to leave the tree and trains up an extra week. All the other decor came down January 1.

Getting ready to haul the tree out to the curb as we speak.
Still running. We were too busy this weekend to take down the tree. Next weekend.
