That is a very nice car, Keith. I agree with Dave and Adam, it's not too early for Christmas stuff.

Yes, a very nice car and the sentiment as well. That said, I do not like to mix religious and secular Christmas together. It is just me. For that reason my layout is full blown secular. My favorite at home religious Christmas display is not a train at all but a large Hummel Figurine Nativity scene that was a custom store display in an enclosed oak/glass case. Quite striking IMO.

Varies for everybody...we leave the decorations up for the obligatory twelves days after the big day, but we don't put anything up/out until about two weeks before the holiday as the wife wants a clean separation between Thanksgiving and Christmas/Hanukkah. My parents and my aunts and uncles used to leave their decorations up until mid-February, which seems unusual now.

Before my cousin passed away earlier this year, we wished each other “Merry Christmas” on October first every year as we both love Christmas and trains. He has a large S scale layout in their basement that is still operated occasionally by his son and grandsons.
We like to start decorating to have it done before Thanksgiving. After Thanksgiving we have too many activities so we like having decorating done so we can enjoy it. Then we start undecorating around the end of January. But we leave the tree up until sometime in March. Because…. we like it!

The only bona fide 'Christmas' car that I have is a 1988 TCA 't's the season' car. It came along with some rolling stock and engines I bought on eBay in 2006. Alfred

Never been a good multi-tasker...focused on Halloween at the moment:  |

Okay, Halloween is in the books and I don't decorate for Thanksgiving, so it's time, at least for me, to start getting worked up about Christmas.  What's the vintage of this photo? I don't know, but that looks like prewar Flyer. |
