NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Diehard is 100% a Christmas movie, however, Die Hard 2 which also takes place at Christmas time, is NOT a Christmas movie, as the fact that it's Christmas is coincidental and not at all integral to the plot.
Christmas being part of the plot is irrelevant - The Wizard of Oz is a Christmas movie. I think what makes Diehard a Christmas movie is simply that people like to watch it at Christmas.
Who says the Wizard of Oz is a Christmas movie?
About 75 years of tradition - until the 3 major TV networks lost their dominance it was always on during Christmas season. I don't watch them anymore so I don't know if they still play it.
Oh, hard disagree, I don't believe playing a movie at Christmas time is what makes a movie a Christmas movie.
