Polar Express Still Delights Youngsters
Santa Claus made a special stop in St. Clair Shores on Saturday parking his sleigh and taking time to read to a group of children at Whistle Stop Hobby & Toy, Inc.
Santa sat in a special chair at the front of the store and read Chris Van Allsburg’s Polar Express to a group of attentive young listeners. Parents and children alike seemed to enjoy hearing the holiday tale read out loud on a chilly morning.
“I thought having Santa read to the children would create more intimacy and would help really set the holiday mood,” said store manager Julie Everitt. “I just think it makes it more magical.”
Each child received a small bell from Santa to reinforce the Polar Express message to believe in the spirit of the holiday. In the children’s Christmas classic, a boy rides a train to the North Pole and meets Santa Claus, who gives him a bell from a reindeer harness. The bell can only be heard by those who believe.

“After the story, children will be able to talk to Santa and we also have a table set up in the back of the store where they can make their Christmas list or write a letter to Santa,” said Everitt.
