[grink]

The MTA hasn't updated their website to reflect a 2009 Holiday Nostalgia Train running this year. Anyone hear anything yet or is this normal for them to not update their page until closer to the actual running?

Yes, that's normal.
The grapevine says the Arnines will run as last year: Sundays in December on the V between Queens Plaza and 2nd Ave.

They're not running tomorrow due to the winter weather.
