A Politically Incorrect Tale of What Happens When Santa Goes Public
Warning: This is NOT a children's story.
Read Amazon.com's #1 Political Satire.
Warning: This is not a children’s book. Exposure to children under 12-years old may cause child to stop believing in Santa Claus or take a cynical view of Christmas.
Christmas Inc. is the story of a large multi-national corporation with their headquarters at the North Pole.
What would happen if Santa decided to go public and sell shares of Christmas on the NASDAQ? It would be the biggest IPO (Initial Public Offering) since Facebook.
But, with the influx of capital comes a host of problems. Now Christmas Inc. comes under public scrutiny. Santa must report to the stockholders and stockholders want to see a profit.
When the economy collapses, Christmas Inc. is in trouble. They are “too big to fail.” So they accept a government bailout. With the bailout comes increased regulation.
So how does Santa solve his problems? He does what every other major CEO does. First, to reduce expenses, he hires illegal burros from Mexico to pull his sleigh. Then he outsources toy making to China and his IT services to India.
This throws thousands of elves out of work. Most leave the North Pole to find work elsewhere. Henry moves his family to New York to pursue the American Dream. Duncan starts his own toy company to compete with Christmas Inc. Always the rebel, Alstair starts the Occupy North Pole movement.
Add a James Bond-style Chinese super villain who wants nothing less than total world domination (of Christmas) into the mix for a politically incorrect satire on the state of our society.
Can Santa save Christmas and return us to our cherished values?

What They're Saying about Christmas Inc.
I truly enjoyed this book

I truly enjoyed this book. The concept of corporations taking over the North Pole and leaving it in ruins was an awesome take on Christmas. The author really grasped the image of Christmas and how it is no longer a fun holiday but rather how it has been taken over by "buy stuff and make a profit."
I highly recommend this book since it is well written and speaks the truth of how big business is taking over the Mom and Pop businesses.
