The power of believing!

I was watching the most wonderful movie this afternoon, and I think if you havent seen it, you should. Its called The Polar Express and it is a movie for kids, but just as wonderful if your an adult!

The movie is based on a book written in 1985 by Chris Van Allsburg, that I was lucky enough to hear just about every Christmas read by my loving father. The movie came out in 2004, but I didnt see it for the first time until last year around the Christmas season.

Its all about a doubting little boy who gets to ride on a magical train to the North Pole, along with many other kids from all over the world, where he gets to see Santa and all the elves. In the beginning you can tell he wants to believe in Santa, but everything is telling him that he doesnt exist. Before Santa leaves to start delivering toys he rounds up the reindeer who have beautiful silver bells on them. All the children comment on the glorious sound that the bells are making, but the little boy cant hear them. The power of belief, and wonder in this film bring out the kid in everyone and makes you want to BELIEVE all over again.

Make this year a special one, and believe, just like you did when you were little, and watch the movie. It will definitely put you in the holiday spirit!
