I already took down my Christmas tree
Does that make me a scrooge? It took me about 2 hours to clean up pine needles and re-arrange furniture to make space for the new train table.

This has been an exhausting day.

1. No, it makes you responsible
you know your house won't burn down because you've left up a dry dead tree in your house.

2. If it makes you comfortable in your surroundings ..
It makes you happy with where you are ... I'm envious. I still have a mess to clean up. Fortunately I don't have a real tree.

4. Thomas the Tank Engine
Yes I took the tree down because the tree was huge and the train table is huge and the room isn't huge.

LOL :)

5. I have never heard of Thomas the Tank Engine...bet its huge though!
I am glad you got a wonderful gift for Christmas. My SO had a huge table also for his scale model train and all the paraphernalia that goes with it. Took up the whole room!

6. Thomas is for young children
My daughter is 2-1/2.

It has wooden tracks and the trains have faces on them. It's set up like Brio trains, if you know what those are.

There are Thomas movies and there's a Thomas show on PBS and there are Thomas books, etc.

She loves it :)

7. My husband is a locomotive engineer
and every gift giving occasion he is given something the kids made with Thomas the Tank Engine on from t-shirts to homemade blankets to a diploma from Thomas the Tank Engine University.
