Its because its the big time of year for Santa to use his magic and fly and etc. All the elf's hard work is now being taken to the kids who believe and Santa is (and i think he is idk) the only one fast enough to get all the gifts in one night so even though they see him all year round its still a big deal on that night because of the time of year. ^_^ hope i helped out a bit.

[@annana6098]

My family is Christian, but my mom decided not to sell us Santa as real. She told us saint Nicholas was a generous old man that inspired the whole legend, and it would be really mean to tell my friends that the legend wasn't real. I was too nice to ruin anyone's Christmas. Apparently my mom never got over the sense of betrayal finding out that Santa wasn't real, her family was the type to make fun of her for not believing, and then make fun of her for believing. It's cool though, I like all the classic Santa movies, I still love Christmas even though I work in retail.

[@mallios13]

Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday conceived of by Abe Lincoln during the Civil War to boost morale among Americans who had an identity crisis while having to kill relatives and countrymen. It, however, was predicated on the romanticisation of encroachment and conquest of non-white peoples. It's long suffered controversy because there's not much about the holiday that people feel strongly about, allowing it to become nothing more than a day of turkey and football as a sort-of pre-Christmas feast. Since the holiday's theme is hinged on being thankful and family gathering, that's not applicable to most people who struggle on a daily basis and have horrible families, making it irrelevant and not identifiable for most folks. Christmas is a western holiday conceived of by ancient Christians upon converting the Roman Empire and conquering the Germanic and Scandinavian peoples, thus appropriating Saturnalia and Jul (Yule) to reinforce Christian dominion. Ironically, Christmas taking from large pagan feasting holidays caused Christians to despise Christmas for ages and reduced it to a minor holiday until the 1800s, where between Charles Dickens and Clement Moore, the holiday was revitalized with a more distinctive Yule motif, giving rise to messages of universal goodwill and togetherness, as well as the rise of Father Christmas/Santa Claus by applying Saint Nicholas' name to the image of the Julfadr (Yule Father), a title worn by Odin in pre-Christian Germania and Scandinavia. So Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday that reminds everyone that the country was built on whites dominating other peoples. While Christmas exists from Christianity dominating everyone, including white people, and you don't have to be reminded of that because the holiday literally sugar coats the whole suffering of Christ with a fat guy who horks down cookies and milk. I guess American Thanksgiving just lacks that extra padding between harsh reality and saccharine fantasy.

Hey quick note: When going down the steep hill, the train (assuming it's standard weight and sizer for a steam train), is going 581 mph, and the kids at the front are experiencing 28g's of force when going down and are most likely dead on the front of that train Just thought I'd let you know

If they're going in a straight line they aren't experiencing acceleration or G's higher than 1 G. They would only feel anything at the instant where the trained stopped going down and went horizontally and only for a moment at that

@@javyahdavla5087 here's the thing, they are accelerating down the hill until they hit 581, and the amount of gs they feel is raising due to the acceleration and speed, and to address your claim, even so, 28 gs to the untrained person is not the most comfortable feeling MOM IM HAVING AN ARGUMENT ABOUT A VIRTUAL TRAIN AND THE PHYSICS

I was already an adult when this movie came out, but one memory I have is during one christmas, we had family over and they decided to watch The Polar Express. The TV had/has a pretty nice sound system, and nobody realized just HOW nice and loud it would get. Well, when the Polar Express rolled up to the house the first time, it literally shook our house and felt and sounded like the train was in our house! It kind of scared the crap out of everyone, but it was kind of magical, and kind of excessive...so we cranked that sound way down, LOL. But, it's probably the most immersive experience I've ever had with a movie at home!

He’s supposed to represent children in poverty or with family that doesn’t celebrate, I think. You can see the house before he leaves without decorations. When he comes back, it’s decorated.
