“The Polar Express” (2004)

Directed by Robert Zebecks

Late on Christmas Eve, after the town has gone to sleep, a boy boards the mysterious train that waits for him–The Polar Express. When the boy arrives at the North Pole, Santa Claus offers him any gift he desires. The boy asks only for a bell from the harness of Santa’s reindeer. But on the way home, the bell is lost.

Christmas morning, the boy finds the bell under the Christmas tree, and when he shakes it, the bell makes the most beautiful sound he’s ever heard. His mother admires the bell, but she laments that it is broken … for, you see, only a true believer can hear the sound of the bell.

This movie really is magical. We’d watch this when visiting Abigail’s Grandpa’s house on Christmas Eve for several years when we first got married. Eventually that changed, but we still tend to watch this every Christmas season.
