I posted some pics from the Christmas Carol Train Tour at it's stop in Dallas, TX. You can check them out here.

Thanks Eric for sharing the photos !

Thank-you - those were great photos. I agree with you on the Polar Express - I didn't like it either. I guess they were going for some realism, since the North Pole is not the brightest place necessarily. But -- uuuugggghhhh. Santa's digs would not be so bland and depressing. The Polar Express to me has always been an adult story, anyway. I just have never liked even introducing the concept that there may not be a Santa Claus to my kids.
But, I LOVE a Christmas Carol - I'm not sure if I'll see this one at the theaters or not. I'll take this opportunity to highly recommend my all-time favorite version, "Scrooge", (1971 or so), with Alec Guinness and Albert Finney. This is the musical version - with the recognizable song "Thank You Very Much". Watch it this year!

Oh, please send your heat here. This summer has been way too cold for my tastes.

Thanks you so much for sharing Eric
