The Polar Express is such an amazing, magical adventure. We board the train and read the Polar Express book, hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies are served. The excitement in Hayden's eyes as he intently watches out the train car looking for the North Pole is mesmerizing. As the train blasts ahead and we are approaching the North Pole, Hayden's heart starts pumping more quickly. He knows it is near. As we reach the North Pole, a smile bursts across Hayden's face. "Mom, there it is" he replies, "There is the North Pole and I see Santa."
These are the magical moments that I love. The ones that I realize that this is what life is about. This is what true joy is... watching the joy that only comes in a child's eyes. I love it! This is what I live for, why I love Christmas and why I love everything about this special time of year!
As Santa approaches Hayden, he is just fixated on Santa and everything about him. Santa spends quite a bit of time with Hayden. He asks Hayden what he has done good this year, not just if he has been good. Santa intently listens as Hayden explains he has treated his cousins good, helped his mom and helped the sick kids at the hospital. Santa agrees that Hayden has been especially good and this will be a good Christmas.
Hayden loves his bell and carries it everywhere! It is the first gift of Christmas this year! What a magical, unforgettable adventure!
