The first Chistmas after I got married I wanted to take my wife out for dinner. Every restaurant in town was closed for the holiday, except for a Chinese restaurant, so that's where we had our Christmas dinner.

Lots of references to it being Christmas just in the first 8 minutes of the movie.

Well, if the studio says so, then it must be true. /sarcasm

Some do. I admit I like it as an action movie, but it has essentially no Christmas message - either specifically or generally.
Seasonal contiguity is hardly sufficient to make it an authentic Chrstmas story.
The onus is on those who claim it is one. What in it is a Christmas message?
