			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, my boys are officially addicted to watching model trains on YouTube, with a definite leaning towards LEGO trains.  I don&#8217;t know if  this latest obsession is leftover from the holiday season or just kids and trains, but in either case they love it!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECgmobqOhgw" target="_blank">Here </a>is a cute one from the Great Western Lego Train Show:  (Soundtrack courtesy of The Dandy Warhols, and it doesn&#8217;t even make me nuts when they watch it 3 times in a row!)</p>
<p><!-- Smart Youtube --><span class="youtube"><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ECgmobqOhgw&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=d6d6d6&amp;color2=f0f0f0&amp;border=0&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ECgmobqOhgw&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=d6d6d6&amp;color2=f0f0f0&amp;border=0&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355" ></embed><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object></span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECgmobqOhgw"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/ECgmobqOhgw/default.jpg" width="130" height="97" border=0></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfqi5HefuMc" target="_blank">Here&#8217;s another example</a>, this time with music from Futurefunk.  Not quite as good as the first one, but pint-sized train or LEGO enthusiasts will like it.</p>
<p>More LEGO to come next week&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This weekend I took the kids to the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/gog/misc-events/Holiday-Magic,1053610.html " target="_blank">Holiday Magic Exhibit</a> at the <a href="www.usbg.gov" target="_blank">US Botanic Gardens</a>.</p>
<p>First, let me say it is an amazing exhibit, and if you live in or will be visiting the DC area before January 4 you should definitely check it out!</p>
<p>Second, it gave me a great idea for some new YouTube videos for my kids!  Since they loved watching the trains at the exhibit, I found these clips from previous years:</p>

<p>Also, older kids (early elementary on up) will enjoy this &#8220;behind the scenes&#8221; Voice of America video about how the magic comes to life.</p>
