Christmas trees need a train. I have no idea why, but they just seem to go togther. The EE is privilaged to have an especially significant train. Years ago, on Rylee's first Christmas, his beloved maternal grandparents deemed that their little man needed a train. Notice the word NEED was used. They were serious about this gift. They were even brand specific; nothing less than a Lionel steam engine would do. With their gift in mind, Santa Claus left a holiday boxcar that Christmas and has continued to do so as the years pass. It looks like next year will require a track expansion as the engine and caboose are close to touching with our current setup!
Ryan made a video to share. The engine, tender & caboose are from the original set. There isn't room for the other cars that came with them! The Hogwarts Express is sitting on top of a table looking rather forlorn at the moment. Rylee has mentioned for the last year that he would like the Polar Express by Lionel. I'm not sure where we would put it. I have expressed a desire for tracks running around the living room suspended from the ceiling. Somehow that just hasn't happened.
We will need to update with a picture if Santa follows through with tradition and leaves the 2011 boxcar.
