A Town Without Christmas
When a young boy in the Pacific Northwest writes a letter to Santa Claus wishing that he would no longer exist in order to not trouble his separating parents, locals set out to find the missing child. Among them are struggling writer David Reynolds (Rick Roberts) and jaded big-city reporter M. J. Jensen (Patricia Heaton). Then the mysterious Max (Peter Falk), a kind elderly man, arrives on the scene to help with the search and change the tone of the potentially tragic situation.
