Die Hard - Christmas Eve Tradition

I'm not sure when my husband and I will find watching Die Hard on Christmas Eve a chore but we've watched it every year since we got together and bloody love it.

Even have a handmade Christmas Tree decoration which is going strong 5 years or so later!

Anyone else watch it Christmas Eve every year?

Merry Christmas 🎄🤶🏼🎅🏼

I'd never seen it so this year was my first time. Started watching it though and DD wanted to watch the traitors. Really good so far though.

Yessss! It isn't Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from the 30th floor of the Nakatomi Plaza

It's a Christmas Eve Eve tradition in our house, watched it last night!
Tonight is polar express with the kids

Good lord!! Of course this is tradition!

Die Hard is as traditional as mince pies and mulled wine.

And we have that dec on our tree too. Cost a bit more (Etsy!)

'Welcome to the party pal! '

Yep. DD asleep on Christmas eve, Die Hard goes on... every year!

uncomplicatedish · 24/12/2022 20:49

It's cued up and ready to go!

Neilsfavouritechilli · 24/12/2022 20:49

Half way through it now with festive snacks on the go.

flutterbean · 24/12/2022 20:50

Yes! Had been a Christmas Eve tradition (along with wrapping presents) for the last 13 years!

NewToWoo · 24/12/2022 20:51

I've never seen it. I loved Love Hard which has loads of references to Die Hard and it made me want to watch it. Will try to catch it this year.

Fairycreature · 24/12/2022 20:53

We are about 20 mins in so far, definitely a tradition round here

YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake · 24/12/2022 20:54

We watched it yesterday. Muppets Christmas carol is our Christmas Eve film.

Dilbertian · 24/12/2022 20:54

22yo ds has been insisting we watch it!

CoffeeBoy · 24/12/2022 20:59

I said to dh we should watch a Xmas movie and suggested Die Hard. Is that a Xmas movie he said? 😄

stayathomer · 24/12/2022 21:00

Always watch 1 and 2 so yesterday we watched 3 to change it up. Yes. Awesome!!! (Still think 2 is best!)

chocolateoranges33 · 24/12/2022 21:04

Me and DD watch die hard 2 every Christmas eve. Its my favourite Xmas eve tradition!

SenecaFallsRedux · 24/12/2022 21:05

Absolutely. Wouldn't be Christmas without Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman. It's just DH and I this Christmas Eve, so pizza, beer, and Die Hard.

ForTheLoveOfGrace · 24/12/2022 21:09

Bruce Willis doing his thing and Alan Rickman at his finest.

My favourite line "No shit lady does it sound like I’m ordering a pizza” 😂

Where it on? I can only see it on Disney (which I've not got)

ForTheLoveOfGrace · 24/12/2022 21:19

I pre recorded it but have it on DVD and yes can only see it on Disney + too. Think it's on TV over the holidays though.
