Family Tradition

Our family just returned from our annual tradition of visiting the North Pole, via the Polar Express train. Every Christmas season, we drive 4 hours to get to the Polar Express train station. Kids in jammies, Polar Express book in hand and excitement in the air, we happily board this magic train. We have cookies and hot coco as we race through the "magical time tunnel" to the North Pole.

Once we reach our destination, we see a beautifully lighted North Pole Village. Elves working hard, shooting stars, and of course Santa waving from his enormous red sleigh. The train stops long enough for Santa to board. The kids wait patiently, while singing Christmas carols, for Santa to enter their train car. Then there are cheers and screams as the jolly old man in red enters the train car with his red sack. In his sack is a bell for each child. The ringing bell I hope my kids will always hear, just as I do.
