Music video edit

The video was filmed in 2002.[3] In the beginning we see the scene, and "good" fairy, which appeared on it. Then appears a man in a suit of a bear, which starts dancing with the fairy. In the middle of the video there is "evil" fairy with the magic ball in her hand, with help of which she kills the bear. After that, the scene starts to grow with plants, and the "evil" fairy turns into a tree. All this time the events on the stage are combined with the playing of the group, which plays on the background of the falling snow. At the end the video shows a girl with a teddy-bear, which she has received for Christmas.
