It's Christmastime, the most wonderful time of the year. The spirit in the air is joyous & electric, and all sorts of holiday festivities have already commenced, with Christmas itself coming up soon. Such festivities and celebrations have been immortalized in numerous Christmas movies. There's a ton of them; older classics like "It's a Wonderful Life," "Miracle on 34th Street," "A Christmas Carol," and newer classics like "Elf," "Home Alone," and "A Christmas Story." However, one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time, undoubtedly, is 1988's "Die Hard." It's a thrilling movie to watch this time of year, and an action masterpiece with a perfect script, fantastic performances, memorable quotes, heart-pounding fights & action set pieces, & an all-around fun Christmas vibe. So, in honor of Christmas being right around the corner, here is Christmastime, as told by John McClane, Hans Grueber, and the rest of the "Die Hard" ensemble:
When your family questions why they brought you to a fancy Christmas party.
When you're at Christmas dinner and someone brings up politics.
When you try to sneak a look at a present but get caught.
When you're in public and hear "Last Christmas" start playing, so you look at your friend...
...And you both know you're about to belt the lyrics out.
When you tell your parents about the expensive things you want for Christmas.
When you wait for your favorite cousins to roll up and celebrate Christmas with you.
When you wake up to find everything covered in a thick layer of snow.
When you're called to start helping pull out Christmas decorations from the attic.
When everyone is wearing cool Christmas socks except you.
When someone notices there's no more egg-nog in the house & rightly freaks out.
When you're asked to go get more egg-nog.
When that one family member shows up to the already-crazy Christmas party late.
When you turn the house into an absolute mess after opening presents.
When someone refuses to sing-along to "Last Christmas" or "All I Want For Christmas Is You."
When you and a family member you haven't seen in forever begin roasting each other.
When the family members you're visiting for Christmas have you feeling sassy.
When you unexpectedly get an automatic Nerf gun for Christmas.
When you're asked if you want to proceed with online Christmas shopping.
When your parents get you the present that they said they weren't going to buy.
When a family member says you should be spoiling someone this Christmas.
When it's Christmas morning & your mom says she's making cinnamon buns.
When someone tells you that they're sick of watching "A Christmas Story."
When it's time to watch "Die Hard" on Christmas Eve.
