History
On Christmas Eve, 1921, Engels took a trip with Karl Marx to the United States of America, where he and Marx were fascinated by the disconcerting displays of American culture all around them. The cultural aspect they were most interested in learning about was Christmas, and they got the chance to after a stolen wallet led them to the house of Mary Felthingson and her aristocratic family. There, all four family members – Mary, William, Robert, and Mari – taught them the meaning of Christmas, leading to the duo becoming embroiled in thievery, capitalism, and snowball fights. The Felthingson family hosted a party, but it was quickly derailed after the murder of Jimmy. Robert took them to the North Pole to fight Santa, where they quickly got caught up in a lengthy tale involving Krampus, Santa's elves going on strike, and Marx and Jonathan deciding they hated each other, then making up and becoming friends. After all of this, Santa concluded that Cthylla was behind it all, so they traveled to the world Christmas tree. However, this whole time Engels had been becoming more and more baffled at the absurdity of the situation; noticed by nobody until later, he returned to Russia.[1]
Fourteen years after Marx and Engels' trip to America – on Christmas Eve of 1936 – Marx and Lenin were kidnapped by a cult and glued to a tree above a cauldron of boiling liquid. Hoping to make it up to Marx, Engels infiltrated the cult in an attempt to rescue him, but only revealed himself after Marx told Lenin he suspected Engels of being behind the plot. Engels apologized, and the two became friends once more. The cult then turned out to be an anti-borscht cult who planned to boil Lenin and Marx in reverse borscht as punishment for Marx's love of borscht. Marx flew into a rage at the cult's hatred of borscht, killed the cult members with a hammer and sickle, and Engels decided to nope out.[1]
