Christmas morning reminds me a lot of Thanksgiving. A cook toils for weeks planning the menu, doing all the shopping and then cooking and baking for a couple of days to pull off the big meal, which gets consumed in 30 minutes. Christmas is the same way. Santa's helpers plan and shop for weeks, spend hours and hours wrapping gifts and days decorating the house inside and out. Then, on Christmas morning, the kids tear down the stairs, attack the neatly stacked piles of gifts and with the power of an F5 tornado, tear through the beautiful wrappings and ribbons to discover what's inside.

If you don't want to join the crushing madness of Christmas shopping this weekend, the folks at Wise Avenue Volunteer Fire Company are offering a fun alternative. The organization's 32nd annual Christmas train garden kicks off on Saturday at noon.
