I was going to suggest that you get a sleeper car while on the train. You must be exhausted! I have to say that one Christmas gift I received as a child was a pillowcase made for me by a relative. Not your typical Childs gift but I LOVED it! It was unusual, unexpected and I felt so grown up getting it. Couldn't wait to use it! Your little recipients will be in awe as will their parents. Such a great and wonderful job. Enjoy your trip and happy holidays.
