Ok. Here was the hype for this event. The "Santa Train" is coming to town for one morning only. Every major ticker in town told times. The local paper did a big two page write-up. The steam train. Fully restored from 1912. (Also the year our house was built, FYI) Hasn't been a steam train in town for 64 years. Be one of the first 400 kids in line and see Santa, get a free picture, and a goodie bag. 8:00. In the morning?! We got there at 8:15. The line apparently had begun to form at 7 a.m. We were about 200 people past the first 400. We stood in line for about an hour in the 23 degrees. Met some friends who also showed up too late. Took some pictures of the "great train." Took our frozen children, with their frozen toes and frozen fingers, to McDonald's playland. We saw the train and we get McDonald's breakfast. All is well.
