Nordic Noel: Norwegian Christmas at Union Station

WE'VE ALL GOT OUR HOLIDAY TRADITIONS. For some, it might be watching Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life" on Christmas Eve for, oh, the 27th time — while stuffing our bellies full of homemade cranberry meatballs and empanadas. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try fitting in something new this season — between your caroling practice and sugar cookie gorging, of course.

Add a little Nordic to your noel on Tuesday by stopping the 12th Annual Norwegian Christmas at Union Station. Bring a gift for the Toys for Tots campaign and feel free to let your inner child marvel at one of the world's largest model train exhibits, which will be unveiled at 9 a.m.

Make sure to pop by at 6 p.m., though, for the lighting of a 32-foot tall Christmas tree in the station's main hall. Too good to be true? Sorry, no lutefisk will be served.
