    Why Die Hard is a Christmas Movie:

    • there’s a grinch who spoils the party
    • “You’re, uh…?” “Clay. Bill Clay.” (checks directory to see if naughty or nice)
    • need help? call a plump do-gooder (the cop at the donut shop)
    • anxiously expecting a vehicle to land on the roof
    • “It’s Christmas, Theo! It’s the time of miracles, so be of good cheer!”
    • a good guy climbs down the chimney / elevator shaft

      Also, it’s about a man attending a party in order to fix his family, and he needs to learn to let go of his pride. Classic Christmas movie message.

      Real reasons:

      1. Happens during a Christmas party.
      2. Christmas music in the score.
      3. B plot involves family mending which is a common trope of Christmas movies.
