All morning, we posed the question. 

IS DIE HARD A CHRISTMAS MOVIE?

This is something that has been debated for years. 

Joanne W. says YES it is.

"It's set at Christmas time, for one thing," said Joanne. "It's a Christmas movie because it's set at Christmastime."

Donna D., however, wasn't buying it.

"It's too much action," she said. "That's not Christmas."

Both sides weighed in throughout the morning at, by 11 o'clock, we were completely split.

Then, the most COMPELLING argument (one I've never heard) came in.

John McClane LITERALLY saves Christmas for the hostages. They get to go home and celebrate. 

He SAVES Christmas. That is, by definition, a Christmas movie.

That settles it.

From this moment forward, Die Hard is, in fact, a Christmas Movie.

So ordered.

Happy Binge Watching!
