why do they say die hard is a christmas movie

Well, that's a good question. Some people might argue that "Die Hard" isn't a true Christmas movie because it's an action movie and doesn't have any Christmas themes or traditions. But I think that's what makes it so special. It's a Christmas movie because it takes place on Christmas Eve and has a lot of Christmas symbolism. It's a story about a man who has to fight to save his family and his loved ones, which is something that we can all relate to.
