I just did my yearly Christmas eve rewatch last night. And have so many questions. I'm wondering how much the parents actually knew about the express train and it's destination. The mum was obviously in on it as she was clearly the one who gave the kid the ticket. And the dad also seemed in the loop when he makes the remark about the kid being fast asleep and how he wouldn't be woken up by the sound of an express train but they give him the ticket anyway "he's out like a light, even the express train wouldn't wake him up now" then we get to to the ticket itself. How did the parents obtain it? Where or who did they get it from? Did they also ride the train as kids? Also why didn't the sister get a ticket? But he did?
