How many times can you ride the Polar Express?

Just for fun I took the boys to a "Polar Express Pajama Party" at Borders a couple weekends ago. When we went that day, Corbin decided he wanted to have a Polar Express party with his friends when school got out for Christmas. Last week we had a Christmas party at church and guess what the theme was? Corbin's class has been keeping track of the books they read this month by putting them on a train which will end with a celebratory Polar Express party next Tuesday. Hope you got the memo for this year's party theme. Oh well, I don't care. In fact, we love it. I love celebrating the season. And it doesn't matter the theme, it's fun! So in case you are still trying to plan a party, take notes . . .

Pass out candy canes and read the story.

Make some sort of craft that has to do with the story. (this is a reindeer door-hangar, in case you couldn't tell)

Pass out hot chocolate and cookies (it helps if it is from Seattle's Best Coffee Co.), while the kids watch the movie.

Pass out a bell for every child to take home.Happy kids = Successful party. We actually really had fun. I highly recommend doing or going to a Polar Express party this month.
