If all of the Christmas elements were eliminated he would just be learning to value his family. A couple dialogue changes. It isnt like he had a weird conception of Christmas at the beginning.

E_S_M_Z 11/24/21 9:59:44 AM #18:	Yes. It takes place during Christmas, but Christmas is also explicitly the reason why all the characters are there. The objective of the movie for the hero is to reunite with his family. He is motivated by family, and the villain he comes upon on Christmas Eve is motivated by greed - the two faces of Christmas. Spending time with your family vs material greed. ...Also, the fact it ends with Let It Snow and actually has more Christmas songs and settings than a lot of traditional Christmas movies doesn't hurt. --- Join the club.

And technically Die Hard is a Christmas movie but I don't consider it a must see at Christmas. Heck, I always watched it and the other 2 in the summer. These are must see Christmas movies to me. Miracle on 34th Street the original A Christmas Carol (I watch several different versions) It's a Wonderful Life A Christmas Story The Santa Clause (the first one, the others are bad) Nightmare Before Christmas Home Alone 1 and 2 I get tired of seeing most everyone on this site saying their favorite Christmas movie is Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and Batman Returns and saying most of the ones I mentioned are dull and boring. --- My cousin: I didn't like Terminator 2.
