The Polar Express is a story of a young boy who travelled on a mythical train to the North Pole. It was a wonderful train ride full of children who want to believe and have a meeting with Santa. Keeping the tradition, Santa would select one boy to give his first Christmas present before he came to visit all the children around the world. Rather than ask for a PS3 or an iPhone nor any big gift, the boy asked for one of Santa's sleigh bells, proof he could hold on to that YES, Santa does exist. The book opens the possibility that Santa, as presented to us, may not physically exist. But it makes the readers think about the question "Is Santa real?". It tells a story not of the belief in a living, but of the belief in the spirit of Christmas.
