Whatever holiday you celebrate, it’s Christmas in full swing at our house.

We had a weekend of rain, rain, and more rain. Even so, we were busy baking cookies, making fudge, dragging soggy little munchkins to their recitals at gymnastics, and building a “Polar Express” train car out of a large cardboard box for my daughter’s kindergarten class…

So, once we thawed out from the chill – we put a fire in the fireplace, heated up some hot cocoa, popped popcorn and watched The Polar Express.

I swore I’d never watch it before kids, because it kind of creeped me out. The animation too much like life to really fall into, the whole idea of a train? on Christmas?

BUT, it’s now our favorite Christmas movie. One of the best traditions we have as a family. So, enjoy this song on me – and, please leave a comment and share one of your own Christmas traditions…
