A new poll by YouGov has stepped in to settle the festive debate around action flick Die Hard, finding that the public does not consider it to be a true Christmas film \u2013 albeit, by a very slim margin.<\/p>\n
In the end, 47 percent of people who had seen Die Hard agree that it is not a Christmas film, compared to the 44 percent who think the opposite.<\/p>\n
For some, the arguments were clearly too compelling to take a side one way or the other, as the remaining nine percent of participants simply answered \u201cdon\u2019t know\u201d. We don\u2019t get anywhere by sitting on the fence, folks.<\/p>\n
While polls have been taken on this topic before, the YouGov survey offers fascinating additional insights that have not previously come to light.<\/p>
For instance, there is a clear gender divide on this particular matter, with half of the men surveyed voting in favour of Die Hard as a Christmas film, compared to just 37 percent of women.<\/p>\n
However you feel on the matter, it\u2019s quite likely this debate will rear its head in your household over the Christmas period, with participants revealing Die Hard comes up as often as festive arguments over whether to dish up Brussels sprouts and whether to tune into the Queen\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n
More prominent issues to bicker over during the holidays are what time is right to open presents, what movies to watch on the big day, who should do the washing-up, who should host the all-important Christmas meal, and when to tuck into the turkey.<\/p>\n
