The Polar Express - Activity Review

It’s a Christmas miracle!  A new post!  Everyone reading this has heard of the book The Polar Express.  It came out 30+ years ago and tells the story of a boy on a magical Christmas Eve train ride to the North Pole, where he receives, then loses, then re-receives a bell from "Mr. C" that only rings for those who truly believe in Santa.

Like many popular books The Polar Express was made into a movie.  But the residual money-making did not stop there; enterprising railroad companies now offer their own versions of The Polar Express (all licensed by Warner Brothers of course) so that your children can supposedly have an experience like the boy in the book by riding on an actual train.  The closest of these to Greenville is in Bryson City, North Carolina on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, and over 88,000 people took this train ride over about 7 weeks in 2017 so it is hugely popular. Many of you have done it before, so feel free to nod in your heads in agreement with this post as we break it down.  And for those who have not, prepare yourselves.
