Would you become a Jesus model during the holidays? It might be a good way to make some extra money over the holiday season!

People seem to be following his footsteps in the sand to make some extra cash during the holidays. Guys who resemble Jesus are making lots of money as a Jesus Model for Christmas cards! Do you have long hair and a beard? It is a pretty common look these days. If this describes you and you're looking for some extra cash--this might be for you! Working as a Jesus Model could earn you up to $200 an hour!

Bob Sagers is one of the people taking advantage of this opportunity. He stands 6ft5in tall and has a beard and hair down to his shoulders. Now, he's taking advantage of his looks and has been working as a Jesus Model in Salt Lake City, Utah. He tells The New York Post, "I make for a pretty tall Jesus." He's reportedly been doing it for 4 years and it's not all about his physical appearance he also has to rock the robes and bring a staff, in addition to embodying Christian characteristics.

Jai Knighton is another person who has been working as a Jesus Model. He tells The New York Post that it's important to be, "the most Christlike person you can be, or people will be able to tell through the photos that it's not real." Yes, it's all about looking real so people think they're looking at a photo of the real Jesus. It sounds crazy and unbelievable but some people do actually end up believing these Jesus Models are the real deal. Terry Holker tells The New York Post that he was doing a shoot and a woman approached him and asked if he could walk with her and hold her hand. He then had to break it to the woman that he was, in fact, not the real Jesus. It sounds like photo shoots like these are getting more and more popular and have been good business not only for a Jesus Model but for photographers as well.

Looking for some extra money? This might be something for you to consider! If you have a beard and long hair then this might be something for you to consider because you can end up making a lot of money--and save money on haircuts too!

“Die Hard” And 5 Other Debatable Christmas Movies

'Tis the season for Christmas movies, but what makes a Christmas movie a "Christmas movie?" Does it have to take place on Christmas? Must Christmas be the primary theme? Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?

It's a question that seems to be as old as the holiday itself. Everyone has an opinion, and we could be closer to an answer than ever before.

In determining what makes a Christmas movie a "Christmas movie," Yahoo! UK came up with a two-question litmus test. To try to determine if a movie is indeed a Christmas movie, they say you have to first ask "does watching the film at any other time of year feel weird? If no, then it's not a Christmas movie."

Then, they suggest you ask, "if you take Christmas out of the movie, does it still make sense? If yes, then it's not a Christmas movie."

Die Hard & Other Debatable Christmas Movies

I think those are fair criteria. It's not a Christmas movie if you can watch it during the summer and have no issue. If it has the same feel in August as it does on Christmas, it shouldn't be a Christmas movie.

Likewise, I feel like Christmas has to be the primary theme of the movie. If you can remove Christmas from the plot and it still makes sense it shouldn't be considered a Christmas movie.

So, given these characteristics I feel like Die Hard would not be considered a Christmas movie. Despite the movie taking place on Christmas, you can watch the movie all year long. It doesn't have to be exclusively tied to Christmas. To me, it doesn't pass the litmus test.

In a new poll, 26% of people said that Die Hard is a Christmas movie. 50% of people surveyed said it is not. Then, 23% say they "aren't sure."

Die Hard isn't the only movie that we question if it's a Christmas movie or not. Some of the best movies of all-time could fall into this vague area. Here are five other movies that are debatable Christmas movies, just like Die Hard.

Mean Girls

You can't think about Mean Girls without thinking of the Jingle Bell Rock performance. They're all in their Santa outfits. However, Christmas isn't a big enough theme in the movie.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter works great year round. It's a Christmas movie, it's a Halloween movie, due to all the feasts it's even a Thanksgiving movie. However, because of all these factors I don't think it's really a Christmas movie. Still great, though.

Catch Me If You Can

A lot of the movie happens on Christmas Eve. It's a big part of the movie. However, no way can we consider it a Christmas movie.

Gremlins

It was originally marketed as a Christmas movie for kids. However, because it's so different from the others it's hard to call it a Christmas movie. Does it pass the test in your opinion?

Batman Returns

Pretty much the entire movie takes place during the Christmas season. It's tied very closely to Christmas. It could actually be a Christmas movie, if you think about it.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
