Santa and the Holiday Train

Each year, the Canadian Pacific Railroad "Holiday Train" comes through Buffalo and puts on a little show. One of the cars of the train is actually open on one side and there is a band that plays Christmas music in it. This was our first year checking it out... it was fun (in hindsight mostly), and I think we learned a few things too, for future years. #1. We will not be going in the future unless its a few degrees warmer than 5 degrees, with a below zero wind chill #2. You should park your car on the side of the tracks you plan on standing on so that when you are freezing to death and kids are crying and you need to make a quick exit, you can actually GET to your car, and lastly #3. If Jeff meets us there after work again, he will probably want to bring somthing other than his dress shoes for his feet, as it is very possible you will later be tromping through deep snow carrying someone :)

One thing I was happy about... I had my camera with me and both the little guys sat on Santa's lap (and we got to warm up, THANK GOD). Neither one of them said a word, but I was shocked they were even willing to go near him.
