Retired. Former CBC, NPR journalist. Nieman Fellow, 91-92. Put the first newspaper in Canada (The Halifax Daily News) on the web, early 1994. Dual citizen. Glad to be back in Canada. I will not watch what I say. He/Him.
BTW, I'm also an atheist and have a transgender child, who I love and support with all my heart. But Die Hard still isn't a Christmas movie.

OK, that made me laugh. But it doesn't make Die Hard a Christmas movie.

And Merry Christmas to you too! Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.

My daughter and I debated whether Gremlins and Die Hard, both summer releases, can be considered Christmas movies. We said yes to Gremlins because Christmas is all over the movie. No to Die Hard because it has the adult daily minimum about Christmas. GREAT movie, Not a Christmas movie.
