While the rest of you are attending cultural events like the opera, we here in Waseca, Minnesota bundle up and huddle together outside to watch the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train roll through town. Magical stuff if you're three years old, and not too bad for curmudgeone, either:

That’s nice of them! I see the whole town turned out to pay homage.

Hey! Who told you what I do with my free time!?!
That train rolls through town here at some point (may have already this year, I don't know)- but it's usually moving pretty quick (trains block all the North-South roads when they go through the town). |

It was in Whitemouth, Manitoba Sunday night, so it's making the usual train-time.

Is it a "PC" train with no mention of Christmas, or did I miss it?
