A Holiday Train Ride~

The  POLAR EXPRESS.

( the award wining childen's book written by Chris Van Allsburg , published by Houghton Mifflin and designed by Susan Sherman, who taught two great workshops at the SCBWI conference this summer in LA)

comes alive in Durango Colorado every Christmas at the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Depot-

The Dancing Chefs are there to help you board...

And keep you in line while everyone sings Christmas Carols and has hot chocolate and cookies

waiting to arrive at the North Pole....

Where Santa boards the train...

And gives everyone a silver bell( can you still hear it ring?)

We return to the station in a Winter Wonderland.....

And of course walk the street of Durango....

Before heading home....

Merry Christmas!
