Just a thought, but over the years we have run challenges for winter scenes, sometimes we just post photos and cards relating to the holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years). Mostly we have some sort of holiday thread or challenge that is train related. How about this year that we just post whatever we feel is appropriate for the season? Post a photo of your kids or grand kids around the Christmas tree, a photo of you shoveling snow at home or basking in the sun on vacation in Hawaii, or possibly one about a train in the snow. You can write a poem, or just say, "Merry Christmas", you can talk about your holiday plans that may not necessarily include trains; it doesn't matter, as long as it is about the season. Post as many times as you like, this is not a contest, just another way to stay in touch.
My first post is a photo of a card that my son Pat (or Packey our go-to web guy) gave us a few years ago. The bear on it is now the feature character in his web-based cartoon strip, Flatt Bear.
