Season's Greetin's boys! Everything wrapped and loaded.  Spiral sliced ham is waitin' for glaze, with Hawaiian savory butter rolls. Dinner  Fifey off 'til 5th.  Grandson is babysitting Wifey and Fifepops 'til folks get off.  He's already given the Gingerbread gateman his cardio for the day.  Then wanted to see "Sparky" (my 54 year old 1862 General) pulling the North Pole train.

A very warm Merry Christmas to all of my friends here.

Well, Christmas is almost upon us, ready or not.  Tomorrow it will all be over but the shouting.  I have enjoyed the season, and needed it, a lot this year.  It has been good to swap post with you guys at this time of the year. It has been good medicine.

Buckeye, nice job on the layout for the kids.

Dougda, kudos to you for all the good things you do for the kids all year on the club layout.

Don, thanks for staying in touch this year in spite of your own problems.  Best wishes to you and Kay.  Kudos to Chris for doing the decorations for you.

Chief, always a pleasure to touch bases with my fellow North Carolinian all year.  Looks like you did a good job entertaining the kids in the box too.

V8 Dennis, stay cool in Oregon.  Merry Christmas.

Roy, hope Santa Claus brings you some rain  We got some but would appreciate more.

Thanks to all of you who have kept up my spirits this year.

Ray

RT, you did a great job.  So, I will use it too.

To all the gang here, best Christmas ever for all of you.  My Brother "Crip", wish you were out of your cast.  Great thing is Kay is doing great and Chris is "safe" [just don't let him drive after midnight].

God bless all.

Good evening all,

Sorry I missed yesterday's posting, but wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas!   Worked my tail off yesterday so I could get today off, which I accomplished.   Swept the house today for the missus so she could do some more baking.  We had my aunt over after Mass tonight.  Usually we meet with her family at her place, but they all had other plans so she came to our place.  It was nice.  All is wrapped and the trains are tested for tomorrow.   I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Merry Christmas All!

We are in Oklahoma visiting the wife's family.  Our day has been great and I received some great gifts; however, being healthy and with family is all that matters.

I hope you all are having a great day.

Good evening all,

Merry Christmas to all.   All the trains ran fine today.  Youngest grandchild seemed to enjoy them the most.  Both Lucas and Rachel called as well.   It was a good day.  Wife got me a set of Thomas videos, Mr. Peabody and Sherman movie, and the complete set of the Jeremy Britt Sherlock Holmes videos.  I hope everybody has a good day.

Keep on training,

Merry Christmas everyone! We had a great day as everyone came to visit. Spent a couple of hours in the train room entertaining both young and old. Kids just left and now it's time for Cathy and me to relax with some Bailey's. Nice way to end a great family day. Later........
