Storyline

Elves find a rat-eaten Santa, skull smashed. The victim was the city's only permanent, obsessively devote Santa, Kris Kringle, who lived above a toy shop. Still, their was a criminal side to his generosity. Booth's mood is already miserable as Parker must spend this Christmas with his mother and her Coastguard friend. Prosecutor Christine's prank, in exchange for allowing a Brennan prison Christmas reunion, actually helps cheer everyone up. Written by KGF Vissers

Trivia

The security guard, Marty Moussa, is identified as an Egyptian. He says that he's Coptic, and they celebrate Christmas. It is true that Copts observe Christmas, but they use the Orthodox calendar and many Orthodox Christians actually celebrate Christmas on January 7 rather than December 25. A minority of Copts, however, are Catholic, and they follow the Roman Catholic calendar. It is likely that Moussa is Coptic Catholic. See more »

Goofs

In the driving scene after Brennan and Booth visit the Santas, the neckline of Booth's jumper changes between shots. In some shots you can see most of his shirt collar, but in others the jumper covers all but the top of his collar. See more »

Christmas Gifts
20 July 2016 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This was an excellent episode and all the fans of Booth and Brennan got a special gift when watching this episode. It's a first for this non-couple, and the aftermath is about as great as the event!

Booth and Bones work together to figure out who killed Santa Clause. Really, it was a no-brainer...

Then Bones shows her love for her father when arranging a special Christmas for her family with a little help from Carolyn. It's Carolyn who asks for the little "first" for the non-couple that leads us to our special surprise.

And, of course, Booth would do anything to make Brennan's day special. Just wait!
