Looking for some family bonding time? Want to create a new family tradition kids of all ages will enjoy? Well you have come to the right place. We all look to pinch pennies around the holidays and The Polar Express has become a part of most families’ Christmas movies. Why not create an Express of your own that costs nothing more than the cost of gas for your car?!
Have a family movie night and watch the Polar Express or one of your favorite holiday movies. Then as bed time rolls around do your usual routine. While someone is doing the normal everyday stuff the other can prepare popcorn and snacks for the car. As the little ones climb into bed they will find their very own Christmas Light Express ticket waiting for them. How exciting! Whoever has a ticket in their bed will climb aboard the Christmas Light Express and the family can drive around looking at the local Christmas lights!
