Why do we get so mesmerized by trains under the tree going round and round? Adults and children alike will sit for an hour watching the shiny engine pull its line of cars around the oval track.
I wrote earlier that it took awhile trying to get the track together and how excited he was to hook it up. But he forgot to hook in the noise part. Our train has noise. I am hoping he will still hook it up, but if he doesn't, I love it just as much with out the noise.
What is the enticement of the train? I get the enticement of the tree, the lights, the ornaments and the keeping it in your heart year round.
We all watch the Red Ryder BB gun movie each holiday season... but the trains took over as the top gift for little boys. It is a really good read if you want to check it out.
Seems like the generational past of the holidays are vastly inflated by the teasing media to shop till you drop. The 'noise ' is important to them. Cha Ching.
Our lives are like that Lionel train... we go around the track with our lives. Where is your life going right now?
Words of my heart, Laurie
