In this episode of "Forward Into The Past," J.C. Rede shares a heartwarming Christmas story titled "Christmas On Wheels" written by Willis Boyd Allen in 1895. He begins by discussing the history of the Christmas tree and its significance as a symbol of the holiday season. J.C. Rede then dives into the story, which takes place in a snowbound train during a blustery December day. The protagonist, Bob Estabrook, finds himself on a journey to San Francisco during the Christmas season and is initially disappointed to be away from his holiday plans. However, his perspective changes when he meets Gertrude Raymond, a young woman traveling with her father. As the train becomes stuck in a snowbank, Gertrude takes charge and organizes a Christmas party for the passengers. The party brings joy and warmth to everyone on board, and Bob realizes the true meaning of Christmas. The story ends with Bob and Gertrude forming a deep connection and looking forward to a future together.
