You'd have to be really creative on putting it up on the wall, but....

Have each child bring in an empty shoebox to create a train on the outside of your wall. After reading the story, each child could create a dioramma
showing their favorite part of the story. (or you could assign each child a page to illustrate in their box). Depending on the grade you have, I've seen some cute little paper doll people at the craft stores that the kids can dress and use in their diorammas. Mine loved the way theirs turned out when I got the paperdolls. You could even have them write a short summary and hang it down
from the bottom of the box or write a letter to Santa telling what gift they'd choose as the first gift of Christmas. You'd have to make the engine.
Good luck! Hope you win!
