This dude, who should know, is completely correct in his opinion: [Bruce Willis officially declares that Die Hard is not a Christmas movie](https://www.avclub.com/bruce-willis-officially-declares-that-die-hard-is-not-a-1827611252)

For our long-running discussion of this vitally-important issue: [Is "Die Hard" a Christmas Movie?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-die-hard-a-christmas-movie/675283)

There are quite a few Christmas movies I’ve seen over the years, but there are none I’d want to watch every single year. That would be boring. Some of my favorites, though: _It’s a Wonderful Life, Love Actually_ and _A Christmas Carol_ (the George C. Scott version first and foremost; Michael Caine and the Muppets second).

Without taking a particularly deep breath beforehand, I timed myself and found I could hold my breath for just past a minute. When I was younger, I often swam underwater and could hold it for a good bit longer.
