I'll Be Home for Christmas

Description

If only in my dreams.

Last summer, I saw this antique train parked in a train museum in Dayton, Ohio. Several days ago, I added the people, the lighted Christmas tree, and some textures. Then it began to snow and a winter wonderland it became. I yelled, "All Aboard," and our Golden Retriever, Dylan, jumped in. He was so excited, he grabbed his Santa hat. (He loves traveling and hopes to see his best friend Abber).Putting the pedal to the metal, we raced out of the station. Playing in the background is the song, "I'll be Home for Christmas... if Only In My Dreams." Merry Christmas to one and all.
