    A darkly humorous piece perfect for anyone who is even the least bit cynical about the "most wonderful time of the year". A twisted and hilarious read!

    A hilarious attempt to reinvent the Christmas holiday with new twists for commercialism. Very funny!

    The initial escape room where we mix zombies and vampires with Santa actually sounds awesome and I would love to take part. But, i like how the title reels you into thinking this is potentially a sweet piece about family and Christmas but it's really about how to make Christmas sellable. And it's in ways that to the masses would likely be considered offensive but to the people pitching it's noble, brilliant, topical. I think that's capitalism in a nutshell!
