Screenshot of The Week: December 19 to December 26 2021 (Christmas)

For us Texans or anyone else living in the Southern USA or Middle America, this is how we spend our Christmases. Sure, it may be sometimes warm, and most of the time it is cold, but this year we're looking forward to no snow and high temperatures. Merry Christmas everybody!

't Was the night before Christmas and all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In the hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there

9 flying reindeer and Santa's big sleigh, metaphorically represented by 9 large engines and 1 more Santa Fe engine upfront (nope, not your typical Christmas train with the G gauge and the colorful bulky designs and the steam all around the tree)

2 more boxcars full of toys, a flatcar full of wood and plastic for Christmas toys, and a long flatcar with giant ride-on vehicles (surprised at the lack of a Christmas caboose? me too)

Yeah, kind of hard to vote for, although I like all the thought and the concept behind the consist! Might have wanted to post it under the screenshots forum.
 
As the final train is ready to leave the station to reach just in the nick of time for Christmas dinner, the crew felt relieved that they made a lot of people happy today. Merry Christmas! :D

Although there were no flashing coloured Christmas lights, pav and icecream anymore, the engine crew watched the lovely setting sun and quietly ate their cheese scones as they travelled to their destination. Although it snowed at odd times all through the year now, it was perfect timing to see the snow on the ground this Christmas evening.
