What was the conflict in Miracle on 34th Street?

Answer 1

The "miracle" is likely related to a lot of things:

* The skeptical child coming to believe that Chris Kringle is actually Santa Claus * The attorney proving in court (via US mail letters from children delivered to Chris Kringle yet addressed to "Santa Claus") that he's Santa Claus * The drawing together of the two adult characters, the attorney and the child's mother * The child essentially getting the house she asked Chris Kringle to deliver for Christmas when the two adults find it and stop to look at it, finding Chris Kringle's cane inside The culmination of all those things is related as "miraculous."
