"Ihr Kinderlein kommet"
As this German Christmas carol describes, Christmas always holds a bit of the magic of childhood! The anticipation of unwrapping our presents when we were children carries over, and over the years, we look forward to being able to give others something nice for Christmas. Children’s eyes lighting up at the sight of gifts of toys in particular rekindles this feeling in us... And since a wooden railway is probably one of the most classic toys ever and you can never keep the kids quiet at the Christmas table before the presents are distributed, Julia from Mammilade has come up with this really great decoration for the Christmas table which will delight children and adults, young and old alike!
