{Consideration provided by Irvine Park Railroad}
Irvine Park Railroad’s Christmas Train is the real start of my family’s holiday season. Pumpkins still line our porch and my kids are making Christmas lists. Such is Fall here in Southern California, where we trick-or-treat one night and wake up to Peppermint Mochas in the morning. As much as I love Fall, the holidays hold a special place in my heart for many reasons. From remembering all there is to be thankful for to celebrating the birth of my daughter, this is a season filled with memories that will live in my kids hearts forever.
A visit to the North Pole has become one of our most cherished holiday traditions. My kids love the opportunity to share their hopes and wishes with Santa Claus. Beginning December 1st, 2016, Irvine Park Railroad will transform into a Winter Wonderland complete with Christmas stories, cookie decorating, a festive display of lights, and a visit with Santa Claus.
