I thought before the Christmas gets to close upon us I would take a moment to wish one and all on Trainboard and their Families a very Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all... and to all a great night of running model trains! Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk
My thoughts go out to all who will be either on duty. or in some hellhole in a far away place this year, and away from loved ones and family, and wishing them all a safe and peaceful Christmas eve and day. Having spent a number of years past in those situations I am finally able to spend Christmas quietly at home with loved ones. Means a lot to me. Having done the shopping several months ago and even having all the Christmas dinner in the freezer or pantry. No crowds, traffic, or annoying checkout lines. The smells of fresh made fudge and cookies coming from the kitchen, soft Christmas music playing in the background, a plethora of felines under the tree trying to find the package with the nip, and excited grand kids calling to thank the old grandparents for whatever, or all excited about what Santa left for them. The only thing left is a light dusting of snow to hope for. Merry Christmas to all.
Merry Christmas, Buon Natale, Joyeux Noel, Feliz Navidad. .........and a special thank you to those who will not be with their families because they are defending our Country, watching our streets or ready at the pumper, ladder or ambulance.
Merry Christmas everyone! Let's not forget those who may be on the rails this Christmas. And here is something I always enjoy listing to: Christmas hymns and N&W steam.
