Why We Put Model Trains Under A Christmas Tree

Model trains and Christmas have been intertwined for over a century like Coca Cola and Santa Claus. Its a tradition to put a circle of track around the base of a Christmas tree and send a train on its way around it. But why? What brought Lionel and other model trains to be so closely linked to the holiday season? The origins date back over a century, when Americans relied on the train far more than they do now.
