The Polar Express


There is a very generous family here in Utah that have a miniature train that goes all throughout their property and for Christmas they turn it into the Polar Express. There is Christmas music playing and lights and decorations all around and you even make a stop at the North Pole to see Santa. Santa lets all the kids sit on his lap and then he gives out candy canes. He tells the children that if they turn the candy cane upside down it becomes a "J" for Jesus and when it is right side up it becomes a sheperd's staff like the sheperds who had come to see Jesus. Then we sing Jingle Bells and get back on the train only then to see huge pictures all throughout the property of the Savior starting with his birth in a manger to his crucifixtion and resurrection. Of couse I am crying like a baby...a little emotional from pregnancy..right? It was a wonderful experience.
