Some Christmas movies we watched over the last couple of days! #wintergames #snowflakesquad #basedonabook #twoofthemanyway
#wintergames #snowflakesquad we read this at the Polar Express train ride today. #winterbingo #snow #holidayread #atozbingo #E
“At one time, most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed, it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old, the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe.”

#WinterGames #ReindeerGamers #DecemberDreams @LiseWorks @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks day 8: #Bell. This is from the Polar Express experience near here. A ride on a train as we hear the story. Took my girls when younger and they loved it plus the hot chocolate was amazing. A great way to utilise our little railway line.

Well Wes almost exploded. It was an awesome experience. As excited as he was for Santa, when it was his turn he was having none of it 😂 #wintergames
Polar Express and Elf while working from home today. So excited to be taking Wes to a live polar express reading and train ride tonight at the National RailRoad Museum! #gingerbreadgems #wintergames
I've got my bingo card together of some of the movies I'll be watching throughout the month.

“Though I've grown old, the bell still rings for me as it does for all who truly believe.“
This book has always been one of my favorites. I love the story and it really helps keep the spirit of Christmas and Santa alive even when you grow up. The pictures are amazing and really capture the essence of a dark winters night even thought something really exciting is happening. The movie is just as good as the book with great songs and an amazing soundtrack.
pickThis book written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg won the Caldecott medal in 1986. A boy is awoken in the middle of the night to find a train waiting to take him to the North Pole. He doesn't believe in Santa Claus so he does it to know. He meets many nice people on the way and even gets to sit on Santas lap. Santa gives him a jingle bell from a reindeer but the boy looses it. He opens a box on Christmas morning to find the bell inside.
“Though I‘ve grown old, the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe.” I love this quote because no matter how old you get there is always Christmas magic in the air
I love the classic story in this book and the illustrations are amazing! Teachers can use this story with any age and still keep them all engaged.
pickCaldecott Medal Winner. published 1985. This is a very popular Christmas classic story. This story was a huge part of my Christmas memories growing up and I went on the Polar Express train a few times when I was little. This is a story and movie that could be paired together in the classroom around the holiday season for any age!
This story is about a young boy who takes an adventure on a long train ride with other children all the way to the North Pole to meet the one and only Santa Claus. He struggles to get there and to even believe at first in the end he realizes seeing is believing but sometimes we cannot always see what's real. He takes a chance and embarks on this journey and realizes just how magical it really is and how that will never fade for who believes.
Never to old for teens or kids books everrrrrrr 😂 picked up book it the tie in picture story book had no idea and absolutely love it. Sure I not only adult that likes to read Childens or teen books 😂🤦♀️ anyone??????
Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can‘t see.
The part where the main character finally hears the ringing of the bells and meets Santa is one of my favorite parts.
pickThe Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg won the Caldecott medal. The Polar Express is a Christmas classic as the story follows a boy who is skeptical about the magic of Christmas. The journey on the magical train is a fun one as the conductor tries to bring back that belief the children once had.
I loved the movie as a child. I thought it was cool to read the book and feel the spirit of Christmas again. I liked how the pictures filled each page of the book.
pickSuch a wonderful read! Will definitely read this in my classroom when it‘s Christmas time.
pickIt would have been more appropriate if my library hold of this had come in a week ago, but I‘m really glad I got a chance to read this classic which was brand new to me. #BBRC Picture Book Letter P @LibrarianRyan
so-soI still haven't watched this movie because the look of it really creeps me out, but this was a sweet little Xmas book and I love trains 🤷♀️

#FestivePhotoChallenge Silver bells
I immediately thought of this book, a favorite of my childhood. My sister got a copy that came with her own bell for Christmas one year and I always envied it growing up lol

Are you coming? Why to the North Pole of course!
Step aboard the magical train and ride to the polar region to see Santa!
pickThis is such a great holiday read! A young boy is awaken by the sound of a train and he goes outside and notices there is a train waiting for him. He climbs aboard and he sees other children wearing pajamas and their on a journey to the North Pole to see Santa Claus .

The Polar Express last night makes a BINGO!
I didn‘t get much reading done last week but I did get a good amount of movie watching done while working, baking, and present wrapping! The Polar Express and One Magic Christmas are personal favorites! + 21 points for team #merryreaders #wintergames2020
First movie of my Christmas movie night #wintergames2020 #readnosedreindeer
Points: 5 + 1 = 6
I always wanted to see the Polar Express. I finally found it on Netflix. It was a little scary for young children (my opinion). It was great adventure with amazing soundtrack. Tom Hanks did awesome job and because of him was conductor my favourite character.
