Everyone loves Christmas. Some of us are already starting some Shopping for our Christmas gifts while some are already learning new Christmas. This day only happens once in a year, that’s why it is important to celebrate it with our family, friends, and special someone. Although, we can always feel the spirit of Christmas at any time of the year by living with the spirit of giving and loving. As we wait for the most awaited day of the year, we have collected inspirational Christmas quotes you can share in advance to anyone.
Inspirational Christmas Quotes
1. “Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas.” ―Peg Bracken
We all associate gift-giving with Christmas time. However, the best gift of all is truly the gift of love and attention. Christmas is a time for getting together with friends and family. Although giving and receiving physical gifts is great, the emotional happiness that comes from seeing a loved one and spending precious time with them is more valuable than any physical gift. The greatest gift we can ever possibly give to someone is our time as we only live once, and our time is limited. Therefore, the gift of time is one of the most precious things you can give.
2. “We are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmastime.” ―Laura Ingalls Wilder
Christmas is a time for adults to become children again. Wit all the magic in the air, it’s hard not to revert back to your childish roots. There is so much joy and wonder that surround the holiday season, and adults can get involved in that joy and wonder just as much as the children can. Throughout the year, we can look on and look forward to the holiday season. It brings us a lot of hope and happiness.
3. “Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.” ―Norman Vincent Peale
Christmas is truly the most beautiful and magical time of the year. Everyone seems a little happier and more jolly than the rest of the year. Houses and businesses are decorated with beautiful lights and ornaments. The streets are decorated with glorious lights. It truly is a spectacular time of year like no other. It is hard to imagine a Christmas season that isn’t filled with joy and wonder.
4. “My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others.” ―Bob Hope
This is an excellent quote because Christmas is truly all about love. It’s about making time for the ones we love, whether that be our partner, our friends, our family. Christmas is the time when we all come together in love and share laughter and beautiful memories. A Christmas without love would not be Christmas at all because the holiday season is built on love. It is important that we make time for the ones we love during the holiday season.
5.“One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas Day. Don’t clean it up too quickly.” ―Andy Rooney
It’s very rare indeed to see the words “glorious” and “mess” in the same sentence, however this quote is absolutely true. The living room on Christmas day can become a complete heap of mess, however it is, through lack of finding a better word to describe it – glorious! With that being said, the mess must be cherished, as Christmas only comes once a year. The mess is a symbolisation of the amazing happy times that you have had on Christmas day, and the joyous and happy memories that have been made in that room on Christmas day.
6. “Christmas is a day of meaning and traditions, a special day spent in the warm circle of family and friends.” ―Margaret Thatcher
This quote from Margaret Thatcher describes Christmas day perfectly. It is a day when we spend time with our families. We share laughter and love with those around us and we follow family traditions that evolve every year. Christmas day is truly a day of family, friends, magic, and love. It is a time that brings us all closer and allows us to see family members that we may not see so often throughout the rest of the year.
7. “Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling.” ―Edna Ferber
Anyone that loves Christmas, like me, will understand exactly what this quote means. Christmas is more than just a time of year, it is a feeling. A feeling of love, hope, happiness and inspiration. It is a unique feeling that only comes around during the Christmas season. I look forward to getting that Christmas ‘feeling’ very single year because it is truly one of the best feelings in the world.
8. “Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we’re here for something else besides ourselves.” ―Eric Sevareid
This is a great quote, because Christmas is indeed a time for thinking about others rather than ourselves. We spend time with people whom we may not get the chance to spend much time with the rest of the year, and we treat everyone around us with love. Christmas is also a time when we give to charities and other organisations who need our help. This season acts as a reminder that there are bigger things going on in the world outside of what’s going on for us alone. The world is a big place, and our place in it is small, and Christmas is a great reminder of just that.
9. “Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing, but of reflection.” ―Winston Churchill
As Christmas falls in the last month of the year, the holiday season is a great time to stop and reflect on the year gone by. Although Christmas time is a time for feeling happy and celebrating, we must also think of all of the things that we have achieved or lost during the year, and how we are going to make changes for the better in the new year. Use the Christmas season to look forward as well as reflecting on your past.
10. “Christmas is a tonic for our souls. It moves us to think of others rather than of ourselves. It directs our thoughts to giving.” ―B.C. Forbes
Christmas really is the season for giving. We give to not only our friends and families, but also to charities and other people in need. It is the one time of year when our thoughts are completely shifted from thinking about our own lives, to thinking about the lives of others. Christmas is a time for giving whatever we can to the people we love and also to the people who need it the most.
