We have all heard of the 12 days of Christmas, but here are the twelve things we do wrong at Christmas. So bah humbug, everyone.

1. Die Hard is not a Christmas Movie. Yes, I concede the movie takes place at Christmas, but that does not make it a festive flick. For instance, Charlie and the chocolate factory is a Crimbo classic. There is no rationale for it just is. So sorry, John McClane, you’re out.
