"For it is good to be children sometimes,
and never better than at Christmas,
when its mighty Founder was a child Himself."

Remember thinking about your Christmas wish list for Santa Claus?
This little girl's expression in this candid shot suggests she's doing just that as she rides
the Christmas Train - not to the North Pole, but through the rolling
Pennsylvania countryside.
Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves also
boarded the festive train in early December on the
WK&S (Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern, Inc.) Railroad, Kempton, Pennsylvania.
The Hawk Mountain Line takes a scenic ride of six-and-a-half miles, on track
of the old Reading Railroad, running along the Ontelaunee Creek, through
the farms and woods of Berks and Lehigh Counties.
