When she was a kid, my mom's uncle would set up an elaborate village every year.  She began around 1975 and carried on the tradition til she passed.  Now the tradition is in my hands.

That is quite cool, Al!

Fantastic tradition! 

Nice!

Hornby train?

Merry Christmas

Skip

Merry Christmas, everyone!

 Very neat tradition. Merry Christmas to everyone.

Skip, I don't know what a Hornby train is... I'll have to look it up.  It's the Marklin (W Germany) set that my mom bought, with a few extra pieces of track.
Mrs. E bought me this cool shirt for Christmas...

As an equipment mechanic I soon learned these were called "bush bolts",  all those extra pieces that you throw in the bushes when you're done with a repair!

Merry Christmas to all and all the best in the new year.

Hello, Al. Cool shirt!  Merry Christmas to all from Sunny Syracuse, a balmy 36 degrees right now! Regards, Lou

Sweet little mousie, and I like the shirt - I may have to put that on my wish list!

Merry Christmas an a great new year :)

Looking forward to seeing it in person next year, Al.

Looks like another model railroader here,  sounds like a good tradition.
