Imagine taking a trip via train from the city to the country to spend Christmas with the grandmother. The view out the window is a wonderment. The countryside covered with snow . . . farmhouses lit up with Christmas lights . . . horses and sleighs . . .. It is a Currier and Ives scene come to life.
Passing through small towns is a wonderful opportunity to see people acknowledging friendships, showing affection to loved ones and affirming the general appreciation of the closeness of this special time of the year.
