Tony and I got the layout up this past weekend- and it's a little scaled back. Only room for Santa's Village, the farm, and the manger. But most of the holiday trains are out, and even the trolley managed to make an elevated appearance! The [relatively] new snap-together Lionel tracks are a breeze compared to the old days- I may have to make the switch myself one of these years... Not getting cotton-snow stuck in the wheels is more than worth it.
On a slightly random tangent- let's call this 'Analogies Gone Awry." If you're a Sports Radio listener you've probably heard this rant from Coastal Carolina's David Bennett. I understand the old cliche of dogs-versus-cats, but the way he gets to it here is just... hilarious. And that was before I saw the video version. "Cat in the house?!" Enjoy.
