Christmas Tradition: Viewing Christmas Lights Aboard the Polar Express

Looking at Christmas lights has been a tradition in both Shay and my families since childhood. Riding on the Polar Express to do so is relatively new.

I got the idea and free printable tickets from one of my favorite homeschooling blogs, Confessions of a Homeschooler.

For Family Home Evening we loaded my pajama-clad children with tickets in hand into the Suburban Polar Express to go see Christmas lights at the North Pole.



It truly felt we were driving to the North Pole. We drove to the opposite side of the city (Reno is big!) to go check out the supposed best Christmas light display in Reno. It was good, but not nearly as impressive as I've seen in both Lompoc and Pocatello. Come on, Reno!

Solee and Embrie both slept through it all. Embrie was expectedly bummed when she awoke, so I drove her by a nearby house that was nearly just as great.

Last year after riding the train to the North Pole we watched the movie, The Polar Express. This year we had the pleasure of grocery shopping instead. ;) Plus the dvd is MIA. I found the case though!
