Every once in a while i should probably post something. The last few years have not been fun and there have been some chronic chest shoulder issues plaguing me. Yes, i am still disillusioned (don't get me started on the BS COVID-19 government response). i just don't feel like making a ton of lengthy posts (conversely, Twitter doesn't give enough characters for anything useful).
No, Virginia, Die Hard is not an Xmas movie. To me Xmas movies are not about the time of year they are set - they have to have Xmas themes (like Santa, be about key elements of the actual seasons). Die Hard could have happened any other time of the year (whenever Hans Gruber wanted it to), Xmas was just a minor backdrop. Scrooged - yes, Die Hard no. The Santa Claus - obviously, Home Alone - not really.
