Description
Every year me and my two kids and wife make snacks on Christmas Eve. Hot Chocolate, rice crispy treats, cookies and more, and we all lay down on the floor with every blanket we own and watch The Polar Express. That is one of my favorite Christmas Memories, and will continue to be a memory every year until my kids are grown and gone.Merry Christmas!
Entry for the 2007 "Tis the Season" Contest.

Children sleeping, snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling like bells in the distance
We were dreamers not so long ago
But one by one we all had to grow up
When it seems the magic's slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas day
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe
Trains move quickly to their journey's end
Destinations are where we begin again
Ships go sailing far across the sea
Trusting starlight to get where they need to be
When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas day
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe
Just believe

If I happen to catch a photo of the train, I'll send it your way-- The 1225, the train that the one in the movie was modeled on, was restored in my hometown of Owosso, Michigan, and they run it every weekend this time of year, all decked out as the "POLAR EXPRESS". (I've never done the ride myself-- far too expensive for a short trip through the farmland.)
Of course, every amateur photographer in the small town has a photo of the Polar Express to their name... I'd just have to find somewhere that 15 other people haven't camped out along the tracks to snap photos.
(What's more, I ended up moving from Owosso to Grand Rapids, where I live now.)

I love the feeling of this photo... like how secluded the area seems to be (reminds me of where I'm from) and the snow on all those logs or whatever is beautiful. Nice work here 
I've never watched the movie The Polar Express... maybe I'll give it a whirl.. I've always been a Home Alone fan or Rudolph and the Misfit Toys

Awesome! What a sweet memory! My favorite memory is every year my mom gives each of us kids a Christmas ornament, a tradition she started with my birth (I'm the oldest) and has continued through the birth of my neice. It's a great tradition because we all had our own ornaments that actually meant something when we started our own households. I'm always excited to see what ornament I'll get this year!
