MIAMI BEACH, FL, November 16, 2010 (Press-News.org) Whether circling the base of the family Christmas tree or bringing loved ones home for the holidays, trains are nearly as much a part of the Yuletide tradition as Santa Claus himself. No wonder that a Christmas train ride with Santa on board delights tiny tots and sentimental seniors alike. Holiday train rides can be found in almost every state. NorthPoleTrains.com makes it easy to find a train near you.
NorthPoleTrains.com highlights a range of Christmas trains, from 19th-century steam trains and hundred-year-old trolleys to Golden Age streamliners with observation domes. Themes include tree farm visits, dinner trains, Christmas shopping excursions, Polar Express runs and more. Most popular of all are those trains featuring a visit with Santa Claus, himself!
Many of the holiday trains featured on NorthPoleTrains.com are brightly decorated to celebrate Santa's visit. Others roll though twinkling Christmas wonderlands and some journey all the way to the North Pole! Hot cocoa and cookies add to the festivities. Christmas caroling and story telling are almost always part of the fun! Personal visits with Santa Claus often include a special gift.
With listings for over 150 seasonal rail events in the USA, NorthPoleTrains.com is the Internet's grand cyber station for Christmas train rides.
Options range widely. Out West, California's Roaring Camp Railroads host excursions to Santa's Kingdom on the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. In Colorado, the Pikes Peak Cog Railway treats visitors to a high-altitude visit with Ole' Saint Nick.
In the heartland, Oklahoma's dazzling Christmas Train takes a brilliantly decorated route through the "Wild West" theme town of Dry Gulch USA. In Chicago, Santa Claus leads "L" trains around the famous Loop aboard a railcar especially outfitted for his sleigh and reindeer!
Down South, Georgia's Blue Ridge Scenic Railway makes its way to a fun-filled Santa's Village. Back East, in Massachusetts, the railroad at Edaville USA rolls through a Christmas dreamworld of seven-million twinkling lights.
This year, over 30 Polar Express events will be held around the country. Among the largest are those hosted by the Mount Hood Railroad in Oregon; the Grand Canyon Railway in Arizona; the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railway in Ohio; and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad in North Carolina.
Christmas is Santa Claus's busiest season. Many holiday rail events, particularly Polar Express train rides, sell out early. To help Santa stay on track, it's a good idea to buy train tickets as early as possible and arrive early on the day of the event. Though severe weather may force schedule adjustments, most trains run rain or shine; a phone call ahead can help to avoid disappointment. For complete information regarding locations, themes and schedules for Christmas trains across the USA, visit the NorthPoleTrains.com website.
NorthPoleTrains.com features Santa Claus trains including Polar Express trains plus Christmas dinner trains, Christmas lights tours and Christmas shopping trains. For further information contact santashelper@northpoletrains.com or visit www.northpoletrains.com.

2010-11-16
Number of Overnights for Support Adjustment Reduced
Florida child support laws underwent several significant changes in 2010. One of these changes may be of special interest to fathers, as it may help ease their financial burdens.

Prior to the change in the law, the parent had to have at least 40 percent of the overnights ...
The Worst Times of Year to Go to the Hospital
2010-11-16
Thinking of scheduling that hip replacement next summer? Based on two recent studies, you might want to have the surgery done in the spring or fall instead, when your chances of medication errors, hospital born infections and other preventable medical errors are lower.
The July Effect
Every July, a new batch of first year medical residents walks through the doors of academic hospitals around the country. And every July, the rate of medication errors in these same institutions rises exponentially, giving rise to what has been dubbed "the July effect."

Could Your Household Products be Emitting Toxic Chemicals?
2010-11-16
Every day, in a variety of ways, we use products that, whether we realize it or not, add fragrance to our lives. From laundry detergent and cleaning supplies to lotions and deodorants, fragrances are everywhere. Because scented products are so much a part of our daily lives, most all of us assume that they are safe. A recent study by the University of Washington may prove that assumption false.
Analyzing an array of common air fresheners, laundry products, personal care products and cleaners, the study found many of the chemicals emitted by these products may be considered ...
Facebook's Growing Role in Family Law Disputes
2010-11-16
An old adage says that a picture is worth a thousand words. In the age of social media sites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, pictures can be worth much more than that. If you are involved in a family-related legal dispute like a divorce or child custody battle, pictures can change your life. They can make the difference between victory and defeat, between a generous property settlement and a pittance, between having sole custody of your children and only getting to visit with them once a week.
Social media has given attorneys around the country an unexpected windfall ...
Custody Issues with the Overparent

Custody Issues with the Overparent
A forthcoming article from the UC Davis Law Review discusses the topic of "overparenting" and how this obsessive behavior is on the verge of becoming required by courts as a demonstration of being a "good" parent during a divorce.
As the article notes, the problems with some forms of parenting behavior being formalized in law is that it is far from clear that much of this behavior is in fact beneficial for the child.
Cell Phones and the Internet
Cell Phones and the internet provide parents with the ability to monitor and ...
