I don’t get a chance to post that often anymore, but being on travel this evening, I noted that today is a _very_ special holiday–it’s _[Die Hard](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Hard)_ day!

Release date of July 15, 2024–36 years ago, it still holds up as a legit classic.

I say it’s a classic Christmas movie too.

Hey Trips! Good to hear from you.

However, I always thought Dec. 24th was Die Hard Day. Don’t you watch it every Christmas Eve?

The Missus and I do watch it every Christmas Eve! We alternate _Die Hard_ first or _Lethal Weapon_ first for a little marathon that afternoon. See, one’s a heartwarming buddy-cop tale that takes place in Los Angeles during Christmas, while the other is a heartwarming buddy-cop talke that takes place in Los Angeles during Christmas.

We haven’t done TV dinners for Christmas Eve meals, but now I’m thinking Ineed to level-up my holiday game.

It’s really not yuletide until Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi Plaza.
