Admit it, there's just something special about Christmas — these
inspirational Christmas quotes
are total proof of that, and they paint a pretty good picture as to why
that is. As much as Christmas has become a commercialized holiday in
today's day and age, at the root of it all is something much more
momentous and imperative: the desire to love one another.
No matter if you're celebrating Christmas for religious reasons or
just for the holiday spirit, you cannot deny that much of the season's
holiday cheer comes from the love that's in the air. And I'm not talking
romantic love (though I'm sure there's plenty of that going around too)
— I'm talking brotherly love, and that's exactly what these 12 quotes
focus in on. Take it from Winston Churchill, Charles Dickens, and others
below.
Christmas isn't just about the cookies and the trees and the presents. In fact, it's not really
about
any of that stuff. Let your heart melt a little by taking a read
through these inspirational Christmas quotes below. We could all use
some more love in our lives, and if there was ever a season to get it
and to give it, it has to be the holiday season.
