Welcome to Episode 3 of A Mikey Christmas Carol! Today, we’re going full Scrooge on the holidays with "Jingle Bells, Corporate Hell". Mikey’s taking a sledgehammer to Christmas capitalism, exposing Santa as a glorified CEO, the Elf on the Shelf as a surveillance state prototype, and Rudolph as a marketing con disguised as a feel-good story. It’s holiday cheer served with a side of labor exploitation, environmental destruction, and enough corporate greed to make even the Grinch blush.
