Plot

Stan goes to the past to keep Jane Fonda from ruining Christmas, but he winds up creating an alternate future where the United States has been taken over by the Soviet Union.

When Langley Falls is prevented from lighting their Christmas Tree, and the "war on Christmas" hits the local mall, Stan sees his favorite holiday ruined. That night, Stan is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, who has come to show him the true meaning of Christmas. However, Stan escapes when the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to the seventies, and he becomes convinced that killing Jane Fonda will save Christmas.—BRo

In Christmas 2006, conservative Stan Smith is frustrated about a supposed "War on Christmas". People around him keep referring to the Holiday, instead of Christmas. Even the locally famous Christmas Rapist, a rapist known for annual attacks every Christmas, is now called the Holiday Rapist. Stan blames actress Jane Fonda for the liberalism surrounding him. In his view, Fonda's visit to Hanoi, North Vietnam during the Vietnam War succeeded in revitalizing the moribund hippie movement. And the young hippies of the 1970s grew up to become the liberal establishment of the 2000s. That night Stan is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past (actually a Tooth Fairy who was reassigned) and offered a chance to time travel to 1970. Once there, Stan sets out to assassinate Jane Fonda and change the course of history. He changes his mind when he finds out that Donald Sutherland was her political mentor, so Stan decides to assassinate Sutherland instead. He fails, but manages to convince a young, would-be director, by the name of Martin Scorsese, to quit using drugs. Stan returns to 2006, but in a timeline where the Soviet Union has conquered the United States and is the main power in the planet. Stan figures out how history changed. A sober Scorsese never had the inspiration to create the film "Taxi Driver", and Jodie Foster never got to play in that film. Would-be assassin John Hinkley, Jr was never inspired by Foster, and never attempted to assassinate Ronald Reagan. Without the boost to his popularity (due to the assassination attempt), Reagan had only a single term as a President, and lost the Presidential election of 1984. New President Walter Mondale immediately surrendered the entire country to the Soviet Union. Returning to the past, Stan attempts to direct the "Taxi Driver" on his own. He alienates up-and-coming actor Robert De Niro, and casts has-been actor John Wayne (Stan's favorite actor) in his place. The "Taxi Driver" turns to a boring, cliched Western, and Hinkley is left uninspired. Desperate to change history again, Stan decides to travel to 1981 and attempt to assassinate Ronald Reagan. He struggles with the thought, as Reagan was his favorite President. In a subplot, Stan looses a tape with Disco hits from the 1970s. The tape is discovered by the 1970 version of Roger the alien. Roger pretends that he is the songwriter of all the hits, and spends a decade as a wealthy music executive. He looses his entire fortune by 1981, because Disco's popularity has died.
