We always try to book a trip on the local Polar Express Train. Wear your PJs, bring hot cocoa, sing Christmas Carols and enjoy a ride on the Polar Express!
Pretend Play
Trains!
Set up trains, trains, trains. Lego Trains. Wooden Trains. Electric Trains. Take turns being the conductor. Set up a little wooden town to be Christmas Town.
Polar Express Party

Toward the end on the movie one year, my then-6-year-old dressed up like Santa and handed out bells to all her friends.
