1) i have another brief note on this beloved Christmas potboiler

But it necessitates sadly an ALERT for a SPOILER …
2) Before McClane’s final showdown with Hans there’s a lull, it’s

when McClane sadly realizes he’s down to two bullets.

One would think this is it; there is just no escape

But Christmas presents are there — along with with wrapping and tape
3) That tape is as Christmasy as a potted poinsett’a

And with that tape on his back, McClane conceals his Beretta
4) That reveal
comes
with
🔔 bells! 🔔

You can hear each crisp jingle!

This could not be more Christmassy were he dressed as Kris Kringle!

Had this showdown not been on Christmas, McClane would be dead, he

would never have managed to shoot Gruber and Eddie
5) finally: what else marks the season — Santa Claus? mistletoe?

Falling right after Hans Gruber comes some rare L.A. snow!

❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

Merry Christmas and God bless us everyone!
