Who doesn't love Christmas? A day of celebration, being with one's family, exchanging gifts, giving back, ugly sweaters, decorating the tree, Christmas music, cards, the smell of apples and cinnamon, nutcrackers, amazing food, and the list could go on and on. As the year comes to an end, we prepare to bid it farewell by celebrating with our friends and loved ones, but before, let's get in the Christmas spirit with these quotes to put you in the mood for a great holiday season!
