I'm looking for a mystery that takes place at Christmas/Holidays or has a Christmas tree or Menorah in it - just some reference to Christmas, or Hanukkah. Are there any out there, and if so are they any good? Could also be a thriller if there's anything like that. Thanks in advance!

Thanks!!

"Seven Keys to Baldpate" by George M. Cohan is a (non-musical) classic, mystery/melodrama/farce. Although not specifically set near the holidays, it IS important to the script that the action takes place in the dead of winter.
