I mean, yes, they’re biased, but 20th Century Fox knows their back catalog of movies and they know Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Behold! Admit it, you’ll watch this before you break open the myrrh.
It has come to my attention that some people out there on the Interwebs still cling to the notion that Die Hard, the celebrated action film starring Bruce Willis, is not a Christmas movie. Look, Gremlins counts as a Christmas movie, Edward Scissorhands counts as a Christmas movie, and –Lord help us all– Santa Claus Conquers the Martians counts as a Christmas movie. So yes, “the Christmas episode” of action movies does indeed count as…
Here at the home stretch, I figured it was a good time to feature Brian Gordon and his gift of validation to parents everywhere, Fowl Language. Don’t forget the bonus panel! And if you enjoy his work, consider supporting him and his ducklings via Patreon. Welcome Yule! (and I hope you all get some sleep)
Who doesn’t like caroling? And who doesn’t William Shakespeare? Well, quite a few people in both camps, actually… but let them stew in their camps like Achilles in his tent. If you, like me, think that those are two great tastes that go great together, Mya Gosling, the creator of Good Tickle Brain, gets you.

Look, I might as well end out a whole week of video posts with one more celebrating the season. So, here ya go: Enjoy, be merry, and maybe ask someone if you’d had too much egg nog before you don some antlers. Just in case.
In case you just weren’t into the Star Trek holiday videos from yesterday, perhaps you’d enjoy the marriage of one of my favorite holiday tunes (and not just because it can be repurposed by Lovecraft fans) and my favorite pop culturally-impacting puppets (and not just because they’re part of one of my favorite TV series). Okay, it’s not as good as their take on the song everyone knows to headbang to, but it’s still fun. Plus,…
No sooner did I decide to do a post about Picard making it so for the holidays, I came across this little video about everyone’s favorite re-purposed Cardassian space station. It truly reminds one of all that is good and bad in DS9.
Every family has their own holiday traditions. Ours includes Revels. Many friends watch their favorite Christmas movie. Now, in the Internet age, many Star Trek fans have this: Enjoy… or engage… or otherwise, y’know, make it so.
