[edit] Synopsis
One Christmas Eve, a young boy experiences "the critical event" in his life; Will he believe in Santa Claus? A magical train appears and brings him, along with several other children experiencing doubts to the North Pole to see if Santa Claus is real.
The boy, known only as "Hero Boy" in the credits, receives the first present of Christmas, one of the bells off Santa's reindeer harness. Only those who truly believe can hear its sweet ringing.
Later, the grown-up "Hero Boy" states how, one by one the bell falls silent for his friends and even his little sister, but it never fell silent for him nor those who truly believe.
