Please please can any one explain the significance of Christmas lights in the shape of trains??

While travelling on the bus from town my daughter and I spotted quite a few train decorations lighting up the walls of houses.
Does Santa catch a train when the reindeer are worn out?

Perhaps it’s just a free for all slap anything on the front of the house, if so can any one tell me where to buy a flashing 8 foot elephant please. :smile:

If it had been run by British Rail the poor buggers would have still be stood on a platform waiting for it to arrive at Easter :)

Maybe Baby Jesus was born on a train and not in a stable as the Bible lets us believe....:heyhey:

The only connection I can think of is that a traditional toy for a boy used to be a train set - can't think of any other relevance.

maybe its because the phrase 'jesus christ' is often uttered on trains.
