Cheery Cargo

Peep!  Peep!  With a burst of steam and a cheery blast of his whistle, Thomas the Tank Engine wishes everyone on the Island of Sodor the merriest Christmas ever!  And as usual, he’s doing hs part to make it so.  With a smile as big as Christmas itself, he’s just pulled into St. Nick’s Station with a merry cargo of brightly wrapped gifts for all his friends.  First appearing in 1945 in the Railway Series by the Revered Wilbert Awdry, Thomas and his friends have steadfastly retained the old-fashioned steam-driven charm of yesteryear.
