For Christmas Eve
2003-12-26, 12:41 a.m.

WARNING!!!! If you know me personally, you may read my diary, but if you do, you take the chance of reading things you don't want to know, misunderstanding what I've written and being hurt by it. If you are unsure if it is okay to read, save yourself, and me, the grief and heartache, and ask first!!! Please note that this is a DIARY, I.E. my subjective feelings, hearsay, suppositions, and outpourings of ranting of the moment. It does not represent objective news, the whole of what I think of a topic or someone, or even a thought-out representation of any of the above. This I hope you keep in mind, and thank you for reading.

Late one Christmas Eve after the town has gone to sleep, the boy boards the mysterious train that waits for him: The Polar Express bound for the North Pole. When he arrives, Santa offers the boy any gift he desires. The boy modestly asks for one bell from the harness of a reindeer. The gift is granted. On the way home the bell is lost. On Christmas morning the boy finds the bell under the tree. The mother of the boy admires the bell, but laments that it is broken- for you see, only believers can hear the sound of the bell.

That's a summary of the picture book by Chris Van Allsburg, "The Polar Express."

Quote of Christmas Eve: "Christmas, unlike any other holiday, brings out the purest form of joy and wonderment in Children. This is what Santa Claus brings to children year after year. Anyone who says there's no Santa, has never spent Christmas Eve with a child and has not looked into the eytes of a child on Christmas morning as they approach the Christmas Tree. I still hear the bell."

-Written by my Dad in the front cover of "The Polar Express," December 15, 1991.
