Last year, we took our daughter and her best friend on a magical train ride through the Southern Indiana landscape at dusk. As it grew darker and darker outside, strange things began to happen. It all started when the conductor asked us for our tickets. Nothing strange there... but elves began to dance and serve us hot chocolate, and then... Santa himself came out and presented each child with the first gift of Christmas.
