Description
It was the last delivery of the night, and Santa could not resist. Before leaving the parcel for the little boy at number seven, he unpacked the train and set it running on the living room floor, just to be sure it worked. Round and round it went, past the tree, under the armchair, out by the fireplace and back again. Santa sat on the rug and watched, chuckling to himself, until the reindeer stamped on the roof and reminded him of the time.
This box captures that playful moment of Santa enjoying the magic himself. Santa and a train stand beside a Christmas tree, a cheerful scene that collectors of holiday trains and Santas alike will love. Measuring about one and three-quarters by two by two inches, it is compact enough for a shelf, a windowsill or the base of a tree. It would make a fine gift for a grandfather who sets up the train every December, or for a child dreaming of their first set.
