A Die Hard Christmas
A Die Hard Christmas: The Illustrated Holiday Classic | Doogie Horner
48 posts | 20 read | 25 to read
A delightful Christmas tale based on the action-packed Die Hard movie All John McClane wants for Christmas is to reunite with his estranged family. But when his wifes office holiday party turns into a deadly hostage situation, he has to save her life before he can get home in time for Christmas! The unconventional fan-favorite movie Die Hard is now an illustrated storybookcomplete with machine guns, European terrorists, and a cop whos forced to rely on all his cunning and skills (and the help of a fellow officer) to save the day. Based on the classic Night Before Christmas poem and filled with whimsical illustrations, this cleverly reimagined homage is destined to become a holiday classic.

I was out looking for some fun little things I could send my brother on deployment, and I found this! It is written in a format similar to "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and is as ridiculous as you would expect.

I hope it makes him laugh!

Follow.my.read We‘ve always had the discussion, “Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?”, in our house, so last year i gifted this book to my husband and my son, to prove that YES IT IS! 2y

I forgot to share the results of my mini poll : is Die Hard a Christmas movie?

6 said yes and 4 said No… 🎄🎄🎄

And well, the Lido is advertising it as a Christmas movie 😂

(Is Eyes Wide Shut a Christmas movie?!)

#AussieSecretSanta

CarolynM 🤣 My favourite Christmas movie is A Christmas Story. And I did like Bad Santa😆 2y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, I wasn‘t a fan of Bad Santa 🫣 feels slightly controversial to admit that! I don‘t think I‘ve seen A Christmas Story. I enjoy an excellent but terrible Christmas movie (which is good because it‘s an over saturated market) - I watch Elf every year tho… and in recent years really loved the Aussie movie - A Sunburnt Christmas. Love that Stan seems to invest in a new Aussie Christmas film every year. 2y
Freespirit For me it‘s Love Actually ❤️ 2y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Freespirit, a Christmas classic! Did you watch the short film they made for comic relief/red nose day a few years ago? It revisited quite a few of the characters - it was really sweet! (I think it‘s on YouTube, if you haven‘t seen it - it‘s about 20 minutes long) 2y
Freespirit Thank you @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I will look out for it!!😘 2y

Christmas Eve Traditions!!!
#TeamGameSleighers #Wintergames2021

My mum says it isn‘t a Christmas movie. My husband and I strongly disagree!!!

Let‘s poll it! Comment yes if you think Die Hard is an Xmas movie. Comment No if you think we‘re mad, it is not an Xmas movie and are wondering what we‘re going on about. 😂

Addison_Reads Yes. I watch it at Christmas each year. 3y
Prairiegirl_reading It‘s about as much a Christmas movie as mean girls but to each their own! 🎄 3y

xicanti Yes! 3y
SamanthaMarie Here's the thing, I've never seen the movies. However, I've heard people talk about it at Christmas SO often that to me it's a yes 🤣 3y
ChasingOm It is 100% a Christmas movie. 😄 3y
Sleepswithbooks Yes!! I started the morning off watching “Die Hard!” 3y
ncsufoxes I finally bought Die Hard this year to watch. Our 17 year old was talking about it. It‘s been a long time since I watched it 3y
DaveGreen7777 Until this question became an internet sensation, I wasn‘t even aware there were people that didn‘t know Die Hard was a Christmas movie! 😂🎅🏼 3y
Mrs_B @DaveGreen7777 excellent answer! 😂 3y
Mrs_B @ncsufoxes “Welcome to the party pal!” 3y
Mrs_B @Sleepswithbooks that is a good way to start the day. 3y

ElizaMarie yes yes yes!!! 3y
Mollyanna Yes! Yes! And again, yes! It‘s on the agenda for tomorrow Christmas movie watching. The Bishop‘s Wife, Home Alone and Die Hard! 3y
Addison_Reads @Mrs_B It's normally a Christmas Eve Eve watch, but this year we did it early simply because we felt like it. 3y
MelAnn In an interview Bruce Willis was once asked this question - if it‘s a Christmas movie; and he replied: It‘s a Bruce Willis movie. 😂 we watch Die Hard marathon every Christmas season because it‘s not really Christmas until Hanz Gruber falls from a tall building! 3y

Not that there was ever a doubt in my mind that my husband and I were meant to be but how kismet is it that we got each other the same book for our first Jolabokaflod. The best part is he kept saying how good the book he got for me was and my book for him probably wouldn‘t be as good. We both had a good laugh, took turns reading and now they are on the shelf together. ❤️🎄❤️

Can we all just stop a minute and bask in the awesomeness of this. It tells the story of Die Hard while using “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”. It even includes John MCClane‘s signature phrase, “yippie-ki-yay, motherf*^ker”! (I know it‘s not Christmas, but I had to read it once I saw it)
