The holiday Season is upon us. The spirit of hope and festivity fills the November air. Soon, Christmas decorations will line up the streets and light up the houses. The yearly tradition of Christmas carols, Midnight Mass, Christmas gifts, and more will follow. To get you started early on the Christmas spirit, I have chosen today’s printable collection of coloring pages, The Polar Express.
A classic picture book, The Polar Express written by Chris Van Allsburg, tells the story of a boy named Chris who goes on a magical train on Christmas Eve to the North Pole. Guided by the train conductor onto the train, he meets other kids inside, including a very spirited girl and a know-it-all boy. Together they go on an adventurous journey till they finally get to meet Santa. The book was adapted by Robert Zemeckis in 2004 into a successful animated movie using motion capture technology and starring Tom Hanks in multiple roles.
