It is that time of year! Lots of festivities in Santa Cruz to help us feel the holiday spirits. We rode the Holiday Lights Train last year and had a blast, so we thought why not do it again this year. The children were none too happy that we woke them up early from their nap in order to get to the train in time. They even claimed that they didn't want to go! Imagine that!
It was a cold night and a little rainy. We got there in time to take a seat in one of the covered train cars. The train runs through the city and a little bit into the woods. It makes one stop early on in the 50-minute journey -- to pick up Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus from a train station. Claire got shy and hung on to us like a little chimp when she heard Santa was climbing on board. She was just fine when Santa said Hi to her and gave her a candy cane.
We sang Christmas carols, had popcorn and hot cider, and marvelled at the holiday lights and christmas trees that we can see along the way. "The Holiday Lights Train was fun guys!" Momo announced after we got back in the car. Now we wonder what kind of Christmas treats there will be in Boston next year.
