Gremlins I can get, it's a Christmas movie, it takes place around Christmas. The plot is about a Christmas gift gone wrong. The Thing? I don't see that as a Christmas movie, it's a cold feeling movie but not a Christmas movie. I'm getting tired of people taking what isn't a Christmas movie and try to make it a Christmas movie. The movie Gestapo aren't going to come to your house to make you watch it's a Wonderful Life, you can watch The thing any time you want, you don't need to say it's a Christmas movie because snow or whatever.
