We all understand the milk and cookies for Santa,

We all understand the milk and cookies for Santa, and even the carrots for the reindeer. But how did toy trains come to circle Christmas trees and Santa begin riding real trains all over the country?⁠
⁠
Read all about it on VIE at the #linkinbio!⁠
⁠
Christmas celebrations (and Santa) began to take modern form in the mid to late 19th century. Christmas trees started becoming a thing around 1820. In1869 America’s continental railroad arrived changing life as everyone knew it. Trains, especially steam engines, symbolized adventure, travel and exotic goods. ⁠
⁠
The first toy trains appear around 1850 around the same time Christmas trees started to appear in homes in the U.S. Little trains just seemed to add to the delight and magic of the holidays. The tradition of trains under the tree grew in the 20th Century when companies like Lionel Corporation began manufacturing affordable train sets that ran on a circular track—ideal for running around Christmas trees. Soon model trains were in department store windows, botanical gardens, and the movies, etc. In WWII returning soldiers arrived home by train and cemented that railroads connect people. While nostalgic and traditional, many a train set still chugs under Christmas trees and all across the country. ⁠
⁠
Maybe the most authentic Santa train ride in the country, and what Smithsonian calls a “national treasure,” is the East Broad Top Railroad in central Pennsylvania. Rural farms and ancient mountains are the backdrop for this 150-year-old railroad and its 108-year-old steam engine. That impressive duo chugs along the small narrow-gauge line and pulls the annual holiday Santa train. Throughout November and December, the East Broad Top Railroad runs a special holiday train driven by nostalgia, festive lights, cookies, and hot chocolate. Families can also write their letters to Santa inside the railroad’s historic 1906 train station. ⁠

Many cookies derive their name and size from simpl

Many cookies derive their name and size from simply being diminutive versions of other, larger cakes and desserts. The Polish kołaczki is most likely one such cookie, derived from the kołocz, a sweetened round bread. Though the name stands for several different types of pastries throughout Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, this cookie version—made with no yeast in the dough and often shaped into “envelopes” instead of rounds—seems to be mostly associated with Polish baking, while the Czech style of kolache denotes a pastry made with yeasted dough. The two often share similar fillings.⁠
⁠
The name derives from the Czech word for “wheel,” and while these cookies exist as rounds, they’re most commonly shaped as the characteristic “envelopes”—meaning a square with two opposing corners folded over to meet in the center. The yeasted pastry is often found in the “wheel” shape. Apricot jam is the simplest filling for these cookies, but if you want, fill them with prune jam, poppy seeds, sweet cheese, or walnuts. While the older versions of these cookies were most likely made with sour cream or another thickened dairy, cream cheese is now the standard for the smoothness and stability it lends to the dough.⁠
