Well, sure enough, (Secret) Santa arrived this evening. He left me a note - said he thought he might be late, cause first he had to round up Comet, Donner and what's his name, oh yeah, Blitzen. Here's a shot of them last summer.

But first Santa has to get the toys to the sleigh-port. He travels, of course, by (Stage) coach.

But it's all a mirage. It's a 'Christmas Village'.

And here's my grandson, Ryan operating the train, behind the scenes, of course.

And my grand-daughter, Sydney, giving us ' the tip o' the ( Engineer's) hat.'

And Santa departing , with 'A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT.'
