Couldn't read the whole thing. Considering that Christmas is core to the plot of the movie it absolutely is a Christmas movie. It is even much more a Christmas movie than "Home Alone" for example. Kevin's family could have decided to vacation in France and forget their kid for the summer. OTOH, the Christmas party was the main reason all of Nakatomis big shots were gathered, at night in a mostly isolated building. They wouldn't do that for 4th of July or Thanksgiving, it could only be the Holiday party.
