Settling the Argument Once & For All: Why Die Hard Absolutely is a Christmas Movie

Welcome to the party, pal! The debates are over, at least for now. Congress has gone home. The president is in Hawaii. Barring a breaking story or Steve Harvey guest-refereeing Chargers-Raiders Thursday night, the news (and publications like this that cover the news) will be a snooze for about the next two weeks. So what better way to kick off the slow season than finally tackling (in this space, anyway) the age-old question heard often at Christmas time lately:

Is Die Hard really, really a Christmas movie?

How come the three finest Christmas movies of the last 40 years all contain gunfire?

loves to set his movies at Christmas. LW, Last Boy Scout, Long Kiss Goodnight, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man 3 are all Christmas movies on top of their other genres.

I'm not buying it.

It will never be a christmas movie to me.

The more my family and friends argue against me that it is, the stubborner I get that it ain't.
