These The Polar Express quotes will remind you why Christmas is such a special time of year!
The Polar Express is a movie telling the magical tale of Hero Boy, who is growing skeptical of Santa Claus’s existence. One Christmas Eve, a train pulls up in front of his window, and the conductor invites him to join a group of kids to visit Santa Claus. Although he hesitated at first, he eventually boarded the train.
Initially, Hero Boy was deaf to a bell that flew loose from a reindeer’s reins. When he’s offered by Santa the gift of Christmas, he finds himself receiving the bell. This time, he hears the bell ringing because he believes in Santa and the spirit of Christmas.
The sound of the bell is something he kept on listening to and hearing even when he grew to be an adult. Indeed, The Polar Express gives us a glimpse of the power of faith. If you’re also someone who finds it difficult to trust and believe, here is a collection that will encourage you to do just that!

What Is It About Christmas That You Look Forward To?
There’s no need to prove it; Christmas is undoubtedly the most exciting time of the year. While adults still get a rush when the holiday’s approaching, it’s incomparable to the joy and excitement children feel. Although that’s the case, let’s not deny that we still anticipate all that Christmas has to offer, even when we’ve supposedly grown out of it.
Maybe this is the case; no one grows out of the Christmas spirit. It will always be with us, no matter where we go and how old we get.
In the movie, Hero Boy initially didn’t hear the bell ring, but this changed when he started believing in Santa Clause. Even as his sister and friends grew deaf to the bell over the years, it still rings for him because he still believes.
Remember what Santa Claus said, “The true spirit of Christmas lies in your heart.” It doesn’t matter if we receive gifts or not; what matters most is that this season makes us even more appreciative and that we have a good relationship with one another. The spirit of Christmas will remain with us no matter how old we get!
