An investigation…
Why did the McCallister house actually get robbed? Have you ever taken the time to notice the house and ALL the decorations? The level of commitment to making it a Christmas wonderland is literally insane and goes WAY beyond your usual tree and bit of bunting in the hall.
Fans believe the house obviously got robbed because it’s the talk of the town come Christmas and one Twitter user called Claire Reilly looked at the house very closely and what you’re about to discover might change how you watch the movie forever.
You’ve been warned.
Now… here we go…
Can we talk about the McAllister’s house in Home Alone for a second? Like, of COURSE you’re going to be a target for Christmas bandits if your house is ENTIRELY Christmas themed! Okay, yes, they have a lot of Christmas decorations up, but that is JUST THE START… pic.twitter.com/9EN0SNyGJ2

Look at that wallpaper. What kind of monster has red wallpaper next to a green wall? Offset with contrasting green house plant and red candles? pic.twitter.com/9Lxm1ewfGv

Throw up a festive green tapestry in the green corridor on the way to your attic, why not! pic.twitter.com/SuKru6caDw

Now, this just takes the BISCUIT.
Yes, it’s the 90s, but who has a green LANDLINE PHONE? With red, white and green wallpaper? And red flowers hanging from the bed above red pillows? Did they cast Catherine O’Hara purely because of her red hair? This goes all the way to the top… pic.twitter.com/cYv7eTJMKK

“Tell the truth. Did you just decorate this place as an elaborate con to leave me at Christmas time?” pic.twitter.com/7fF99qb5Kh

But WORST of all is the kitchen. Red pots, green tiles, red teapot, crimson floors, even a green rolling pin. Guys. We all go to the themed sections of IKEA and get ideas, but you’re not supposed to do it in real life.
Home Alone: Great movie. Decorator’s nightmare.

We’re shook to say the least.
Did McCallister plan the break-in because he’s tired of looking at white, red and green? Was it the pizza man who TOO rocked up in the festive colours?
Omg even the pizza guy is in on it pic.twitter.com/JLvvjnSUsA

To be honest, it feels like the work of the Illuminati.
It’d be insane enough for a regular family, but this is a family who isn’t even going to be home for Christmas!

We don’t know what to believe anymore. This needs a deeper investigation. Watch this space – we’ll be back.
