you cant watch this in the summer


it doesnt have the same effect it really doesnt

You can though.

I do all the time

reply

You can, but it doesn't feel right.

See also It's a Wonderful Life, Scrooged and Christmas Vacation.

Die Hard, however, works in the summer, even if it has a special significance at Christmas.

I'm so addicted to this and its sequel that I can watch it any time, even when it's 95° outside. ;-)

reply

I agree. I can only watch it around Thanksgiving/Christmas.

Me I watched it once at the drive in back in the Summer of 1991 and loved it just as much as I did in December of 1990

reply

Watching it because I went to the actual house a month ago.

What about those who have summer at Christmas, like Australians, South Africans etc? :P

reply

Christmas time to use means vacation time and hitting the beach and swimming pools. It's a different dynamic. But we do like to decorate the place with fake snow etc and other Christmas imagery.

I personally have never had a white Christmas. I did one in Ireland it got soooo cold that they said it should snow, but I didn't see snow until February and it was only a small downfall.

One day I'll have a white Christmas.
