Celebrate the Magic of the Season With These Cheerful Santa Quotes
Whether you still choose to believe he's real or not, there's no denying that Santa Claus was a big part of so many of our childhoods! Those that celebrate Christmas have heard more than a few stories about the magical fella who goes by a few names: Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, and Father Christmas, just to name some. He's a pretty big deal, after all. He's responsible for traveling the world in one night on sleigh guided by some pretty notable reindeer, delivering presents to all! So in honor of Santa Claus, we created a list of the best Santa quotes to read ahead of Christmas this year.
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.”
Read through these Santa quotes if you want to feel sentimental, need a good laugh, or for some Christmas Instagram caption inspiration!
