 Scrooge represented the narrowest of the grasping capitalists, the
 narrow-minded "philistine,"  at least to Dickens.

Exactly. Just as the title might suggest an invitation to parody or a la
critical thinking, maybe Scrooge in addition to being a metaphor for the
greedy and philistine exploiter capitalist, as also not much of a hypocrite
about it--screwed people for 365 days a year without taking a couple of days
off for some commercialized-albeit "sacred"--event or holiday.

Anyway, just musing.
