Becky Phelps says she was heartbroken when her six-year-old son Harvey told her that older boys at school had said Father Christmas was not real. 

 

The 25-year-old mum tried to tell the youngster¹ that they were wrong - but she says she could tell by the look in her son's eyes that he was struggling to believe - so she had an idea. 

 

Harvey's favorite film is The Polar² Express, starring Tom Hanks, which portrays³ a little boy's North Pole Christmas adventure. 

 

At the end of the film he can be seen holding a special 'believe' bell - to remind the youngster Father Christmas is real. 

 

Quick thinking Becky took to Facebook to ask where she could buy a replica⁴ of the bell. 

 

The next day, a woman knocked at their home with a gift bag and quickly left without saying who she was. 

 

Inside was a 'believe' bell. 

 

Becky gave it to Harvey telling him the special gift had mysteriously delivered especially for him. 

 

Becky said: "His eyes just lit up. He's been running round saying 'I believe' ever since and telling our dog, his best friend, that Father Christmas is real - and he can't believe he ever doubted him. 

 

"I cannot believe a random⁵ stranger would do this for us. She's our Christmas angel⁶."
