A few years ago, our family added a new tradition to our Houston Holiday List - seeing the Christmas Train Display at Second Baptist Church on Woodway.
The church fills their atrium with an amazing display of miniature snow-covered villages with model trains running through them. My kids had a fantastic time checking out each different display, looking for the Santas in each village and watching the trains make their rounds through the various scenes. There are mountains, tunnels, buildings and landscapes. It’s like a treasure hunt for guests to take in all of the details. With holiday music playing, there is no way not to be entertained and get in the spirit.
