Jake is absolutely in love with "The Polar Express," so we took Michael and Alex up to Massillion to ride that fabled Christmas train. Legend has it the train will stop at your door Christmas Eve, but we took no such chance; Bill scalped us tickets (they are in high demand and you can only get them through a lottery).
The train was decorated as the season dictates and the chefs, elves, conductors (all volunteers) did a great job of entertaining the kids. They brought hot chocolate and cookies as we headed to the North Pole. Once we arrived, we saw Santa, the Grinch, Frosty and a variety of characters from our seats in Car 7. At that point Santa embarked on the train. Michael and Alex may have been a few years too old for some of the evening, but they most certainly were not too old for Santa. They lit up as they talked about Christmas, and he handed them each a sleigh bell, one that they were still able to hear. RAP (12.24.2008)
