'Tis the season for visiting Swanson's! The Ballard nursery puts on the best free holiday fun every single year.

Almost as good as going to a real Christmas tree farm. Except there's a greenhouse roof shielding us from the rain, and no muddy fields to slog through.

Sometimes the anticipation is better than a picture of the actual model train.
