Read These Santa Quotes Before Christmastime to Get on His Nice List
Santa Claus is basically synonymous with Christmastime! The holiday legend (or very real person, depending on what you choose to believe) is responsible for delivering neat presents and happiness to children across the globe on Christmas Eve. Oh, and we don’t want to forget about his spirited crew of magical reindeer—he wouldn’t be able to do it all without ‘em! All this to say, Saint Nick or Kris Kringle (or whatever you call him) is a pivotal part of the holiday season for many—so, we created a list of the best Santa Claus quotes to really appreciate the old guy that flies at night.
If you recognize some of these quotes, it's probably because a few came right out of your favorite Christmas movies. This one from Miracle on 34th Street is as nostalgic as it is iconic: “I believe, I believe, it’s silly, but I believe.” Others on here are just straight up hilarious, like this one from former child star Shirley Temple: “I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.”
