Opis

Tommy and Katie are on an autumn leaf gathering trip the Saturday before Thanksgiving, when they delayed at a railroad crossing by the passing of the Santa Train. Children lined the tracks and received candy and toys being thrown from the train. Katie and Tommy are surprised to learn that train was started in 1943 to take candy and toys to poor children in out of the way places. Tommy tells his mother that he is glad that there aren't any people like that anymore. Katie agrees with Tommy. Both Katie and Tommy are surprised when their mother assures them that there are still poor people around. Even their hometown have thousands of them. Over half of the families in their county live below the poverty level. The day after Thanksgiving Tommy, Katie, their Mother Tammy and their Aunt Deborah plan to go to the big city on a Christmas shopping trip. It is a three-hour trip.
