Can you consider Die Hard a Christmas movie?
- It takes place during the Christmas season.
- They're having the company party up in the Nakatomi tower.
- There's a The Night Before Christmas reference: "All right, listen up guys. 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except for the four assholes coming in the rear in standard two-by-two cover formation."
While we're at it, how about Die Hard 2?
"Just once, I'd like a regular, normal Christmas. A little eggnog... a fuckin' Christmas tree... a little turkey. But, no. I gotta crawl around in this motherfuckin' tin can."
Granted, they're not your standard Christmas movies (A Christmas Story, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Scrooged, etc...), but they could be considered Christmas movies. Or at least men's Christmas movies.

michael is right on both counts.
Both Die Hards are definitely Christmas movies. They explore some of the big Christmas themes--the importantance of celebrating with loved ones, helping out strangers, and saving your family from terrorists who are stupid enough to show up wherever John McClain is.
