>>216501769It’s not a Christmas movie because I’m bitter and miserable.
>>216501769>because it doesn't deal with any Christmas themes. It's an action movie that's just set at Christmas, like how Gremlins and Eyes Wide Shut are set at Christmas but aren't about Christmas
>>216501769It's not about christmas.Thus it's not a christmas movie.
