We had an amazing Christmas activity this week. On Tuesday, one of the parents of my fencing class had gotten us tickets to the Stringtown Railroad. It's 6 neighbors in Lindon that got together and built a mile and a half long train track around their properties. Every Christmas they donate the time and their homes to host as many people as they can for about two weeks. You first go into the garage and watch Polar Express until they call your for your ride. Then they have the engineer punch your magic tickets and get you on the train. They have Christmas music playing and drive you out to another home where they have Santa in his workshop. You get to talk with him and then he talks to the kids about the real reason for Christmas. Then they get you back on the train and turn on Away in the Manger. They drive you past depictions of Christ's life and miracles from birth to resurrection. At the end, they have tables with cards for missionaries that you can sign and send. It was a great experience and I have no idea how I'd never heard of it before.
