The Polar Express Party

Well, one of the boy's favorite things to do this time of year is our Polar Express party.  We usually do this around Dec 1.  We will wear our pj's and watch the Polar Express. I print out tickets and they have to give me their tickets to come to the party, purchase hot chocolate, or a train cookie. We do the "Santa thing" so this is when they write their letters to Santa.  You can get some great crafts on line and coloring sheets for them to do.  This year we will attempt to make a silver bell out of a cup with foil, etc.  Just thought I would pass this idea along so some of you can do this as well.  I love getting new ideas so share your traditions with me!!
