“Bruce Willis said it is NOT a Christmas movie!”

Bruce Willis doesn't say anything anymore. 'Twas good to see Moonlighting finally released for reruns last month.

If Trading Places is, then so is Batman Returns.

…and Gremlins.

As a note "A Christmas Carol" has no mention of Christ or church or anything else.

It was a purely secular holiday.

Which should not have been a surprise considering it's author.

And "The Muppet Christmas Carol" is the best version and I will fight you over that. :)

That’s very true

It at least showed a changed man

That’s what I enjoyed

I still like the Peanuts Christmas 🎄

Peanuts is a good one and we do watch it since the kids came along. Also "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (Boris Karloff version) which is also not about the real meaning of Christmas but I still watch it. And probably can recite it by heart.

But I can also quote Luke two, verse one through forty so I guess there is symmetry.

John McClane Is Santa. Holly, helper elf for Santa tells Lucy “we’ll see what Santa brings us”. He arrives by air carrying a toy. A large stuffed bear. His reindeer, Argyle, in his limo/sleigh, takes him to where he is needed to provide the group ultimately a merry Christmas. He provides his family with Santa - bringing Lucy the bear by way of Argyle and his sleigh/limo

Is Trading Places a Christmas movie, too?

Of course!

Whether he said this or not, he did not write it.

Good! Because eventually the godless reprobate New World Order government of Daniel 7:23 that's coming will outlaw Bibles and the Word of God, worldwide.

That's why I'm a crazy guy posting memes which I pray that people are sharing and saving to their computers. It's already contraband in more than a few countries around the world.

Daniel 7:23
King James Version

23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon Earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole Earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

Every main storyline in Die Hard depends on it being Christmas.

Therefore it is a Christmas movie.
