There are two kinds of people: Those who accept that Die Hard *is* a Christmas movie, and those who are plain wrong.

It's not Christmas until I see Hans Gruber fall from Nakatomi Tower.

Yippee Ki Yay, M... Merry Christmas.

Now go watch Die Hard already! :)

The two Christmas shows that have the most nostalgic value for me are Charlie Brown Christmas from my childhood, where my mom would set my sister and I up with TV trays and we would watch eating dinner. I've grown to Love a Christmas Story into my adulthood because my mom loved it so much and her adulthood, and watched it every year. It's a genuinely enjoyable movie, but it's extra special because my mom, who's no longer alive, loved it. Die hard is a good movie. It takes place at Christmas and has a lot of Christmas references in the dialogue, scenery and plot between the main character and his wife. Merry Christmas, happy holidays! Thanks for all your great writing. 🎄🎉🥂💕
