When you hear the big, bad sound of Run-D.M.C.'s Christmas in
Hollis and think of Argyle dropping John McClane off in Nakatomi Plaza, you know the imminent demise of Hans is not far away. Let's be honest--Die
Hard is one of the tightest action movies of all time, not a moment of screen
time is wasted.
And you bet your Yippy-kay-yay it's a Christmas movie! "Now I have a machine gun. Ho!
Ho! Ho!" Watch it over and over until Santa comes.
How
to commemorate:
- Take off your shoes and socks, walk around on the rug bare foot, and make fists with your toes. (Yes sir, better than a hot cup of coffee!)
- Listen to Run-D.M.C.'s Christmas in Hollis (Yeah, Argyle!) or Beethoven's Ode to Joy from the 9th Symphony
- Shout "Welcome to the party, pal!" whenever someone walks into a room. Yes, even the bathroom.
