Around the holidays, I usually put on Little Women as I work on various projects. It's firmly a Christmas movie in mind. So when L asked if I wanted a Christmas movie, I said, "Hey, Little Women." "That's not a Christmas movie," he replied. However, he has claimed in the past (and I'll actually agree with him) that Die Hard is totally a Christmas movie.
What makes something a Christmas movie anyway? If it has a bit of Christmas in it, is it then meant to be associated with the holiday season? Is Die Hard really a Christmas movie?
When I was in college, each Winter Break, I'd return to my parents' house. My mom and I would do Christmas-y things, like set up the tree and bake. And, inevitably, we'd always watch Little Women. For me, the movie is associated with time spent with my mom and Christmas, and it does have Christmas for about half the movie. So every year, I watch it at least once around Christmas while I'm working on addressing cards or knitting or any of my other crafts.
Besides, if Die Hard is a Christmas movie, Little Women definitely is.
