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:
“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)
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“Ends in themselves, my letters plot no change;
They carry nothing dutiable; they won’t
Aspire, astound, establish or estrange.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
