We went on the Candy Cane Train from Bath to Wiscasset. It is set to emulate the movie Polar Express. Once the train gets moving Santa's Elves (local high school cheerleaders) ask if any of the kids would like to go to the front of the car to listen to story time. Refreshments (Juice and x-mas cookies) are offered, a barber shop quartet sings Christmas songs, a stop in Wiscasset where the elves get off the train and cheer and then the big man shows-up and sits with each child at their seat and asks what they want for Christmas. Sounds like a great time to me if I was a kid. Well you wouldn't know it by the reaction of our to little darlings. They were very unimpressed and grumpy. We now fully believe they are just like Carey and my fathers. Bah Humbug!!
