4:30 AM. Not too shabby. Kids are turbo-charged.
Last hour and a half with "some assembly required".
Time for a cup of bourb... I mean, coffee, then back to "...assembly...".

You dads out there will feel my pain. :wink:

Merry Christmas, Penn and Wayne!

My best thank you to you Jon (well at least my best by proxy) for my very first model train car, such a cool coal hopper, I love it so much - and guess what? Only a few days now till TRAIN SEASON OPENS up here downeast. I'll be sure to send a photo of it in action. You're so sweet, and now I'll think of you every time I see big lumps of coal!

And thank you Pete, I'm so touched to have my own hobo tin cup, and your sweet card, truly, thank you. I'm going to have oatmeal in it tomorrow morning, and then soup in it for lunch, then beer for dinner. And so cool to have the same PRR kind as Tramp's! My dad actually thought it was really cool too and told me he used to ride the P&LE line, which is in your state, do you know what it stands for?

Thank you both truly! I feel unbelievably rich this year. Merry Christmas!!!!!

Jimmy Hakken, standing on a chair, lit the top half of the tree candles. Frankie, after giving Mary another gift: a CD with A Child’s Christmas in Wales on it, lit the rest. They sat on chairs and sofas, each person with a full beverage, all other lights turned off. “. . . and out of all sound except the distant speaking of voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, . . . All the Christmases roll down toward the two-tongued sea, like a cold and headlong moon bundling down the sky . . .” Each of the three-dozen candles with a starred halo, the tinsel wavering restlessly in the rising heat of the flames, the ornaments reflecting, the warmed balsam sap beginning to scent the air. “. . . I said some words to the close and holy darkness, and then I slept.”
“I’ve never seen anything so amazingly beautiful,” said Deirdre, after they’d blown out the candles and put the room lights back on. “I mean, it was just so amazing.”

Photos, and possibly even motion-picture videos, of gift hoppers and legendary B&M engines in full steam action porported to be showing on the MTJ forum within weeks, following the opening of train season downeAST in Le Villa Chez Tramp.

STOP

Tin cups may possibly be involved as well. Chances increase with inclement weather, particularly the "wintery mix."
