Merry Christmask 2021 with the Company Photographer

No, that's not a typo. It's COVID-19 and it's baaaaack! 

Blogging is one thing that's still safe to do,

Here by the fire, my nearly Christmas card for you.

The stockings are hung by the chimney with stuff,

In hopes our family gathering size is small enough.

Kingston led the country, we're number one!

And sick is just sick, it's not good, it's not fun.

Read along with me, let's spread good cheer

Hoping this pandemic gets the **** out of here.

This year, the Company Photographer has returned for a special Christmas vacation, shivering rackside capturing these vintage scenes from the CN Images of Canada Collection, with some somewhat-humorous accoutrements added for merry measure.

A very Merry Christmas and all good greetings of the season,

 and continued health and happiness from Trackside Treasure to you,

 our loyal readers and blog partners. 

You've all made 2021 a little more bearable and even enjoyable! 

--Eric
