Plot
Overhearing his parents Stephanie and David Tutela having a heated argument, Justin retreats to his bedroom. A few minutes later, Justin peeks downstairs, only to see his mother Stephanie locked in a warm, romantic embrace with none other than Santa Claus (actually his dad in a Santa suit). He takes a photo, shows it to his friend, and then sends it to Mrs. Claus. Fueled by his best friend's worries over his recently-separated parents, Justin jumps to the conclusion that his mother is having an affair with Santa. So, Justin decides to behave as badly as possible in an attempt to prevent Santa from coming to his house on Christmas Eve night for him to at least make off with the boy's mother. The resulting hi-jinks include Justin setting traps and throwing snowballs at a street Santa. Justin's mom receives a letter from the post office. Inside was the photo which didn't actually get sent. In the end, he finds out that Santa was actually his dad and apologizes to the street Santa.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
