What do trains have to do with Christmas & Jesus

After watching Polar express, again, I was wondering what trains have to do with Christmas...

I came up with a few comparisions between followers of Jesus and trains rides:

Following Jesus is like a Train ride because...

1. For both the journey has just begun when you get on
2. Sometimes you go through the city and see Jesus everywhere other times you go through the country and think he is nowhere to be found
3. You are always moving on the train it is just sometimes it is toward Jesus or away from him
4. There are other people on the train and Jesus gives us help by having people with us
5. It is your choice to get on or off the train and the same for following Jesus
6. You get drink and get fed on a train just like Jesus who is the bread and water of life
7. The train has guidelines to obey and so does Jesus
8. You can take things on a train with you, but the space is limited. It is the same when we follow Jesus.
9. There is only one ticket you need to have to get on board and with Jesus it is similar, you need to believe He is Lord and Savior who died on the cross and rose from the dead so that all who believe may have a restored relationship with God
10. The tracks that the train ride on are narrow and with Jesus his path is similar
11. There is a conductor on the train to help people follow the rules and Jesus provides help like this for His followers
12. Trains can span enormous gaps using bridges and Jesus helps us do the same
13. The foundation trains ride on, the stuff underneath the metal tracks are big pieces of wood and large spikes just like the foundation of following Jesus with the big piece of wood and spikes used to nail him to the cross
14. Trains are like following Jesus because they both have there doors open for anyone to get on
