Counter point: you can replace the theme of Christmas with that of a Wedding Day, and it would change nothing in the plot of the story. Removing qualities as a determinant for classifying a theme is not a reasonable methodology since any element of a story can be changed to fit, or not fit, a theme.

Here is a test for the civility on BlueSky:
A movie cannot be a Christmas movie unless Christmas plays a central mechanism in the transition of the narrative from A to B.
So Die Hard is clearly NOT a Christmas movie because Christmas changes nothing in the story.
