Can you still hear the sweet sound of Santa's sleigh bells?  One Christmas Eve, long ago, a boy is awakened and invited aboard the Polar Express, a midnight train filled with happy children.  They are bound for the North Pole where Santa chooses the boy to receive the first gift of Christmas—a magical gift that only those who believe can hear!  (AB)
