[quote=Sedai]I love popping into the Shoutbox to read all of Iro's little laughs and giggles and bits of good cheer in regards to Christmas.

I am filled with the spirit of the season! ;)[/quote]

[quote=John McClane][quote=Iroquois]Nowadays, I think people just like to treat the stirring up of "is [i]Die Hard[/i] a Christmas movie" debate as its own Christmas tradition to the point where it's as trite and boring as any other Christmas tradition so, though I'd say "yes" to the question I still get annoyed at how smugly insistent so many of the people who agree with me on that tend to be. It's like being a [i]Twilight[/i] hater all over again.[/quote]
[i]Twilight[/i] is life: you take that back! :p[/quote]

[quote=Chypmunk]Glad I'm already in - wouldn't fancy going down a funnel as some nasty critter might be lurking :eek:[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]I think in most cases it's people finding a specific thread through Google and then just poking around a bit.

It does seem crazy, but it's pretty standard for forums. The percentage of visitors who register is very small, and the percentage of people who register and post is smaller, and the percentage who register and post a lot is smaller still. It's just this giant funnel.[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]Has anyone explained the "guest" stats here before? 

It always strikes me that so many people would be perusing anonymously, instead of taking 2 minutes to make an account.

[quote=Iroquois][quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]So lets forget the movie. A Christmas movie is?

-Set in the month of December?
-Anything that occurs in the presence of [color=red][b]red[/b][/color] and [color=green][b]green[/b][/color] decorations?
-Are these the same qualifiers for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa movies?[/font][/quote]

Yeah, my criteria would've been that most (if not all) of the movie takes place during the Christmas period and explicitly acknowledges Christmas itself through the appropriate signifiers to one extent or another.[/quote]

Definitely bummed about this. Buzzcocks are great. I even got to see them twice. Been wearing my shirt all day in memoriam.[/quote]

[quote=Miss Vicky]Watching Die Hard and Die Hard 2 at Christmas time was a tradition in my house when I was a kid.[/quote]

[font=century gothic]I worked out a lot of my issues this past year, but I'm still a work in progress.
