Are you surprised?
Not the usual transportation for St. Nicholas.
This wonderfully orchestrated event happens every year, in the small town near where I live.

Can you hear the train horn tooting and the signals clanging as the train approaches the Depot? And there is Santa, standing on the front, waving to the wide-eyed children.
The excitement begins as Santa steps off the train.
HO! Ho! Ho!...and, jingle all the way!
One of Santa's helpers.... showing him the way.
The group of children, with parents, follow Santa into the train depot.
The boys and girls line up inside, eagerly awaiting their turn to sit on Santa's lap.
(The view is looking through the depot window)
"Have you been good this year?"

LOL! That's awesome! I've never seen that before. :-)
ReplyDeleteI must say it is original.....and the kids love it. They are as much awed by the train as they are with Santa on it!
DeleteLove trains! Glad you got some pics. And yes, I think I've been pretty good this year, well...maybe. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Santa knows you have been a good girl ! Thanks for your comment.
DeleteHello Meggie. Over here we have a tradition of Santa trains, where the little ones can go for a train journey with their parents and meet up with Santa. Its lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea....everyone loves a train ride.
DeleteThat is so cute......Heidi
ReplyDeleteHe was the perfect Santa....the children loved him.
DeleteWhat a cool tradition . . . i can just see all the little kids with their smiling faces and excitement :) Santa Clause is coming to town!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great day...a little cold, but the sun was shining.
DeleteI've seen Santa arriving on a camel in the middle of a desert but never on a train ;-). This is a great tradition. Our Santa and Mrs Claus were here this past weekend, they arrived in a wagon pulled by four horses....it was wonderful.
