Holiday, Inc. - Paperback

by L. J. Simone (Author), Anthony T. Caruso (Author)

Welcome to the North Pole. Santa's not the only one up here trying to run a holiday. The Easter Bunny, the Boogeyman, the Tooth Fairy and even a wet-blanket named Bill are conducting their business from here too, working for a company called Holiday Incorporated, where they are under the thumb and watchful eyes of the omnipresent Corporate Headquarters. When an unforeseen event causes the company to lose an unprecedented amount of money, Corporate sends a pair of mismatched managers to spend a year getting things back on track. Personalities clash, hijinks ensue and Santa drops a bombshell that no one wants to deal with. Not to mention Bill! Will the famously mythical figures pull in the massive profits Corporate is demanding, or will their beloved holidays be shut down for good? A surreal satire about nine-to-five life and the commercialization of holidays, Holiday, Inc. reintroduces the famous legends of childhood to an adult audience in this comedic debut.
