The 'Christmas Carol' Train, part 1

Leave it to TypePad to make me switch to its updated system the day I want to post a bunch of pictures! I'm feeling a little bit at sea here, but I'll do the best I can.

The carolers outside the train . . .

And the train itself. (That's my mom whose ear, shoulder, and elbow you can see on the left.)

More below the jump.

Scrooge and me. (Which wouldn't be a bad sequel to Marley and Me, come to think of it.)

An early edition of A Christmas Carol. Very early, actually: In case you can't read the plaque, the last sentence says, "This copy is one of just a handful printed before the book was actually published."

A costume from the film. I tried to rotate the picture, but it's not letting me.

THE PEN.

I'll stop here and put the rest of the photos in another post, since this one is getting so big! (All photos in this post, the previous post, and the next post are © Joseph Dalfonzo, a.k.a. The Blog Dad.)
