Christmas Kids

When Carl Churchill and John Jackson first tossed around the idea of a train display at Christmas time, they were thinking of days gone by when they were kids and stared wide-eyed at train displays in big Department stores.  Christmas of course has a deeper meaning than electric trains, but all of us were ourselves once Christmas kids, and what fun it was to see the Mall so full of Christmas kids watching trains today.  Here are just a few, assisted in the morning shift by Mike Cury, Dick Rubin, Ben Jewitt, Jake Brewer, Sarah Sherman, and Scott Gould.  Hunk Erskine, Terry and Sue Norton, and Carl and Pat Churchill joined the fun in the afternoon.  A wonderful time for all of us.
