The Polar Express Book

When Books Make You Cry

While clearing out a room this weekend I came across The Polar Express Book and boy did it just bring memories rushing back and the tears flowed but in a good way. I decided to save it for bedtime reading last night and this book is just as wonderful toady as it was when I first read it to my son when he was 4 years old which was the same year the movie came out too.

It's a beautiful vivid and enchanting story that Kids and I think adults never tire of too and as I turned the glossy pages of this story it just make me feel all kinds of things and the characters jump of the page and remain in your memory. Books should make you feel and the Polar Express enchants me every time I have read it.

Of course the movie was amazing and is still has its place in my home every Dec 8th at the tuning on of the Christmas lights on our tree. Now that we are empty nesters I will place the book among my fond memories and keep it safe for grandchildren one day and look forward to Dec 8th and The Polar Express.

At one time, most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed, it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old, the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe."
