There are lots of families that hold true to this tradition nowadays, but in the recent years the Christmas trains have improved so much and there are so many great trains to choose from.
So, how do you go about finding the very best Christmas train set for under your tree (or for just about anywhere in your home)?
I’ve done plenty of research on trains and have gathered up the best Christmas trains sets for under the tree to help you save some time shopping this holiday season.
The Best Train Sets For Under Your Christmas Tree
Lionel Polar Express Train Set
What could be better than having the Polar Express train chugging around your Christmas tree?
The train is battery powered and has an RC remote control so you can easily turn it off and on when you want. You’ll be amazed at how this train looks exactly like the one from the beloved Polar Express movie and book.
The set includes the Berkshire -style steam locomotive with the attached tender that reads “Polar Express.” It also comes with a passenger coach and an observation car.
It includes 24 curved pieces of railroad track along with 8 straight pieces. This is more than enough to make a circle around most Christmas trees but it can also be made into other shapes as well.
The train even features a working headlight as well as a realistic whistle and bell. Best of all you will even hear the train driver announce “I am the king of the North Pole,” and “All aboard! This is the Polar Express!”
This is a Ready to Play Set and is only compatible with these sets so keep that in mind before buying.
You’ll find that most Christmas train sets will run you a couple hundred dollars but since this is a smaller (but still high quality) set this is one of the cheaper train sets but also one of the most magical ones as the train takes the kids right into the North Pole.
Lionel Santa’s Helper Christmas Train Set
If you really want the spirit of Christmas with your train set, then this train featuring fun red and green cars with Santa’s elves helping along is the perfect choice for you.
Everything on the train is now controlled with a remote control from the direction of the train to the music and sounds that go along with it. And best of all the controls are easy to use that even kids can do it.
The set comes with enough Lionel Fastrack to create an oval that measures 40″ x 50″. There are 8 curved pieces of track and 10″ straight track piece as well as a Fastrack terminal section, which you’ll find is plenty to go around most Christmas trees.
The locomotive engine is a metal diecast that comes with a working headlight, real smoke that puffs out and realistic chuffing sounds.
You also receive 3 coordinating freight cars with Santa and presents and other fun Christmas designs. You’ll even find that the Christmas presents in the gondola are removable and can be placed as you want.
This would be a nice train for under the tree if you have kids in the house or you want something more on the whimsical and fun side for your train.
Lionel Hallmark Toymaker Santa Christmas Train Set
This is probably the ultimate Christmas train for under a Christmas tree, but do realize that it does come with a slightly heftier price tag than the sets above as well.
But with this train you get such a beautiful train that has so much attention to detail that you may just want to have the train out all year long.
In this set you get the 0-8-0 locomotive along with the tender, a boxcar, gondola, and a caboose. All of them are painted red with wonderful images from the Toymaker Santa and some swirling snowflakes.
In the locomotive you will even find a Toymaker Santa engineer that has different sayings when the train is on. Along with Santa you’ll hear the train whistle and bell as well as other fun train sounds.
There are even presents and elves that you can find in the gondola as well as some other neat surprises as well.
Here’s a closer look at the train cars to see the wonderful images and accessories.
The set includes 8 curved pieces of 0-36 Fastrack as well as 3 ten inch sections of straight pieces and the 10 inch section wall-pack terminal section. This is more than enough track to even go around larger Christmas trees.
This collaboration between Hallmark and Lionel trains truly produces one of the best Christmas train sets for both young and old.
Bachmann Industries Jingle Bell Express
If you are looking for a good Christmas train but something that fits your budget a little better than one of the Lionel trains above, check out this super cute Christmas themed train from Bachmann Industries.
This train is carrying all the sweets for last minute Christmas gifts as it chugs along the track. It has a fun Christmas theme from the gingerbread man and girl on the side of the box car to the red and green colored locomotive.
The set comes with a 0-6-0 steam locomotive that features a working headlight.
It also comes with the tender behind the engine as well as a single dome tank car, a box car, a quad hopper car and is finished off with a red caboose.
The train track is slightly smaller than the more expensive trains but still comes in at a reasonable size of 37″ x 48″ when placed into an oval shape.
This would be a top pick for a Christmas train if you are a beginner to trains or you simply just want a Christmas train under your tree that won’t cost you almost $300.
The Best Christmas Train Set for Toddlers and Young Kids
If you are looking to buy a Christmas train set for a toddler or you have any younger kids in your house, you could go with one of the trains above or you could go with one that may appeal more to them. You also won’t have to worry as much about them breaking a $200 train because these trains are cheaper and made for younger kids.
Lionel Disney Mickey Mouse Ready To Play Christmas Train Set
Mickey Mouse is taking over the duties of Santa and driving all these presents to good boys and girls all over.
This train is simply adorable and what little kid doesn’t love Mickey Mouse?
This is a RC remote control train that features an engine being driven by Mickey along with a gift filled tender with Donald Duck checking out all the presents.
The engine is pulling two cars which each have different Christmas scenes featuring Mickey and his friends.
Your child will be delighted with not only the sight of the train going around the Christmas tree but also with the realistic train sounds which also feature a whistle and bell. The engine even has the working headlight to light the path of the train.
This is really a must-see for any parents or grandparents who have younger kids and looking to find a Christmas train that is not only high quality and super great but will stand up to the play of a younger child.
Why Do We Set Up Trains Under the Christmas Tree? – A Look At This Holiday Tradition
You may have always wanted to have your very own train chugging along under your Christmas tree or maybe you have always had a train under your tree since before you can remember, but do you know where this tradition came from?
The tradition dates back over 100 years ago. Although no exact date can be pinpointed it started back in the early 1990’s that people started placing trains under their Christmas trees. This was around the same time that Lionel came out with electric toy trains.
It could of started with the popularity of these new electric toy trains as these were probably the number one gift that a child would want for Christmas. Once they got their train, it would get assembled right under the Christmas tree that morning. Some people simply thought it would go well around the Christmas tree stand .
It could also have to do with the fact that to most people Christmas represents coming home or spending time with your family, which back then would be done on a locomotive.
Just like a lot of other traditions, families soon started placing their trains under or around the Christmas tree every year and it took off as being a normal holiday tradition.
With the recent technology and some people trying to get back to “classic” Christmas traditions, trains under the Christmas tree has once again gained popularity as parents and grandparents share the tradition with their kids.
Whatever the reason you want a train for under your tree this holiday, make sure you buy one of the best Christmas train sets for under the tree so you can enjoy the sights and sounds for years to come.

Starting at the front of the mailbox or at the bottom of your post, simply just wrap the ribbon in a diagonal pattern to cover the whole entire thing. If you wish you can add a bow on top of the box with the matching ribbon or a complimentary ribbon.
You can even add in a simple red bow that you can find at the dollar store on the back of your mailbox or the post to add a bit more to it.
If you don’t mind paying a bit more of you simply have some extra lying around, you could also do the same with evergreen garland as well.
Big Red Christmas Bow
Keep it real simple and easy this Christmas and just tie on a big red bow onto the post of your mailbox.
You can always find large red bows (or other colors) at your local discount stores or you could spend an extra few dollars on a nice, unique red bow as well. Just be sure that the bow can be used outdoors especially if you live in area where it snows or rains quite a bit.
The bow just adds a simple and classic touch to your mailbox and looks good with just about any other outdoor Christmas decoration you may have in your yard.
Decorating your mailbox for Christmas is a great way to add some holiday spirit to your yard and welcome friends and family to your home this season.
It doesn’t take a lot of time or even effort but it may just put a smile on your face or your neighbor’s face each day.

Being that most artificial Christmas trees can run pretty expensive, you don’t want to waste money on a tree that doesn’t look like or one that the lights burn out after only one use.

This pre-lit white artificial Christmas tree comes from National Tree Company and is definitely one of the best you can find.
The tree measures 7.5 feet tall and comes 750 UL clear lights that are pre-strung right on the branches of the tree.
The tree has a bottom diameter of 59 inches so it is a wider tree, so keep that in mind when deciding if it is the right tree for your home. It’s a fuller tree that looks so pretty when fluffed and filled with ornaments and decorations.
It’s super easy to set up as it comes in 3 separate sections that you simply put together as the branches are all attached to the center pole. It has an all metal hinge construction so it is a very high quality tree that won’t break the first or second time you use it.
Like most high quality Christmas trees, it is fire resistant and non-allergenic.

3 Ways You Can Decorate Your White Christmas Tree
If you are still on the fence about whether you want to go with a white Christmas tree or you want a white tree but you are not really sure just how to decorate it, here are 3 cool ideas for any type of white Christmas tree.
Turn Your Tree Into A Snowman
With a white tree you can easily transform your whole tree into a life-size snowman in your house.
You can find tree toppers that are in the shape of a snowman head and then all you have to add is some stick branch arms along with a scarf (garland or fabric) wrapped around the upper part of your tree and you have a snowman.
You can also add three black ball ornaments in the middle for 3 coal buttons as well.
Red And White Themed Christmas Tree
The color red is a such a great contrast color for an all white Christmas tree.
Decorate your tree with red bulb ornaments as well as red ribbons and red icicle ornaments. You can keep it simple with no garland or simply drape wrap your Christmas tree with red ribbon.
If you want to keep things a little less strict with the theme you can also look for fun Christmas ornaments that are red and white or even red and silver to add some glitter into the tree as well.
Top the tree off with a red Christmas star tree topper or even a large red bow topper .
Whimsical And Colorful Christmas Tree
Another great way to play up a white Christmas tree is with a whimsical and colorful color scheme.
This involves large colorful ornaments in such colors as pink, purple, turquoise, lime green, and yellow. The more patterns and prints you use, the better as well.
Be sure to include fun ornaments such as ornaments that look like pieces of candy, pink glitter snowflakes, and fun ball ornaments in stripes or polka dots.
This is always a fun theme to try as it’s definitely not one you see all the time but you can find tons of great ornaments and garlands available in these colors that you won’t be short on decorations.
So if you are looking for white tree for your home this year, don’t waste money on cheap ones that may not last, but instead buy one of these white artificial Christmas trees that are quality made and can be used season after season.

How To Make a Burlap Bow for Your Christmas Tree Topper
If you are crafty or you want to try to save some money and you have time to spare this holiday, you could of course, try to make your own DIY burlap bow tree topper.
You will need to buy plenty of burlap ribbon before you get started. Depending on the size of your bow you plan on making you will want to buy at least 2 spools as it’s always better to have more than run out of ribbon.
And of course if you have extra ribbon you can always use it wrap around your Christmas tree or make smaller bows for your tree or other Christmas decorations.
You will also need floral wire to hold your bow together. Floral wire works best because it is thin but strong and can blend in with the bow.
One tip that I have for people that may not be so crafty or who don’t have much practice making bows, is to get yourself a Bowdabra Tool . This is a simple tool that allows just about anyone to make professional looking bows in only a few minutes.
You can even use the tool for bows for your Christmas presents and other decorations year round as you will definitely get your money from it (it doesn’t cost much to begin with).
Once you have all your supplies ready including scissors and enough space to work, check out my tutorial on how to make a Christmas tree topper out of ribbon .

Christmas Porch Decorating Ideas
If you are interested in buying one of these signs for your porch and looking for some inspiration on decorating, here are a few ideas to help inspire the perfect holiday get-up for your home.
If you plan on using one of the larger signs (5 feet or taller) then the sign may be all that you need if you have a smaller porch, especially if you just have a small stoop or stairs in front of your home.
You can place the sign in the corner of your house or you can balance it against a side railing depending on the design of your porch. You want the sign to be able to be visible to visitors as well as to people driving by but you don’t want it to be in the way of getting in and out of your door.
If you have a larger front porch or if you are lucky enough to even have a porch that covers almost your entire front of your home, then you can always add some more decorations along with your sign.
With a larger porch you can still place the sign by your front door or in the corner, but you do have more options. You can balance in front of porch column on top of the stairs or even place it in the middle of your porch in the middle of your rocking chairs.
Some other decorations that you could pair with the Christmas signs include a small Christmas tree (plain or decorated) and a wooden box or basket filled with Christmas trinkets such as ornaments or pine cones.
As mentioned you can even utilize the porch furniture you already have to enhance the sign. An example would be placing the sign on a small table you have on the porch or even on a chair so that it is more visible.
Get really creative and use something like a wooden wagon or wooden sled decorated with evergreen and ribbon on your porch. The rustic and country style signs would go perfect with this decorating idea.
Of course Christmas lights and green garland are great traditional decorations that could easily be paired with one of these signs as well.
Christmas porch signs are a great way to decorate the outside of your home and there truly are so many ideas that you can use to incorporate these decorations.
