''[[The Polar Express]]'' is a lavishly illustrated children's book by [http://babbletrish.blogspot.com/2009/12/when-you-see-terrier-drink-lets-read.html Chris Van Allsburg] in which a young boy, straining to hear the silver bells of [[Santa Claus|Santa's]] sleigh on Christmas Eve, instead hears a train's whistle. He goes outside to find a magical train, the eponymous Polar Express, which was sent to pick up the boy and hundreds of other children to go the North Pole and Santa's workshop. There, one of the passengers will receive "the first gift of Christmas".
