After almost losing his faith in the spirit of Christmas, our hero is given a bell by Santa himself in the 2004 Christmas classic, The Polar Express. The bell is a representation of the Christmas spirit, and its power is only fully realized when you believe in the magic and spirit of the festive season. Only those who believe in the magic can hear it!
The bell is given to the boy as a reminder to believe in the spirit of Christmas. Santa says that if he truly believes, he will be able to hear the sound of the bell even when it is not visible. The boy is initially sceptical, but eventually, he takes the bell, believing that it could be a sign of something magical. The boy’s faith in the bell is tested when the bell is accidentally left behind on the Polar Express. The boy is devastated, believing he will never hear the sound of the bell again. However, when Christmas morning arrives, he finds that the bell is miraculously back in his pocket. It is a reminder that the spirit of Christmas will never fade, even when it is out of sight.
The boy cherishes the bell as a symbol of his faith in the Christmas spirit and shares it with his family. Every year on Christmas morning, the family gathers around the tree, and the boy rings the bell to remind them of the importance of believing in the spirit of Christmas. The sound of the bell brings a feeling of joy and love into the home, and it is a reminder that the Christmas spirit is always alive. Even as his friends and younger sister, Sarah, lose their Christmas spirit over the years, the bell never goes silent on our hero.
The bell from Santa in The Polar Express is a powerful symbol of the Christmas spirit. It is a reminder that faith and belief in the spirit of Christmas can bring magical things into our lives. Even when the bell is not visible, the sound of it ringing on Christmas morning can bring a feeling of joy and peace to our hearts.
