Let George Do It was a long-running Mutual detective series than ran 1946-1954, with Bob Bailey as the lead character George Valentine for most of its run (this was Bailey's big role prior to his tenure on Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar). Accompanied by his girlfriend Brooksie (the versatile Virginia Gregg), George placed a newspaper ad inviting people to hire him ("Personal notice: Danger's my stock in trade. If the job's too tough for you to handle, you've got a job for me: George Valentine. Write, full details!").
The Let George Do It episode of Christmas Day, 1950 is called "Santa Claus in Glass" and opens with a gentle send-up of a typical detective scene as the supposed "victim" is George and Brooksie's Christmas duck! The drama also closes with a fine Christmas greeting from Bob Bailey.
