die hard, the great escape and then home alone

A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

Bad Santa Is some cranky b@stard that likes large women's back doors and dislikes children. Maybe that's why he uses the back door.

Bad Santa is unfunny sh1te. Home alone and Die Hard are movies set at Christmas but not Christmas movies.
