With a message that echoes Jesus Christ s teachings about love, peace, and charity, this charming Christmas mystery is perfect for church or school functions. Lillian and Molly, the daughters of the late Marshall Cobden, along with their family and friends, gather back at their father s home on Christmas Eve one year after his death. As stipulated in Mr. Cobden s will, the last piece of their inheritance one million dollars in cash will go to the daughter who exhibits the most Christmas spirit in the next 24 hours. Those around them including Lillian s husband, Molly s friends, a local reporter, the gardener, the maid, and the butler are to be the judges. But when the lawyer is knocked out and the money disappears, the guests scramble for answers. Who took the cash? Lillian, the mean, bankrupt sister? Jasper, the mysterious gardener with the nine-year-old son? Spencer, the butler with the evil laugh? Twists and turns abound until the very end when a lesson is learned and a life is changed... forever. Note: For a more secular ending, permission is granted to remove religious references at the director s discretion.
