Santa Train And Other Signs Of Holidays

events 1 Minute

On Thursday, I got on the Santa Train, just because it happened to be one after the next train, and because the next train was so crowded that I almost couldn’t get on.

It was also super-crowded, but I really needed to get to my next destination, and an Elf reluctantly let me on when she saw an opening.

It became less crowded towards the end of the route, and an Elf started to move around the car and distribute candy canes.
On that day, I actually had to go to the final stop, and had a chance to take a lot of Santa’s pictures

The picture below was taken on Friday, and that was a Fannie May holiday trolley:

And more presents – from Scotland and from Sweden:

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
