Why Christmas love quotes?

Christmas is a super special time of the year – and if you’re lucky enough to be sharing it with your sweetheart, then no doubt you’ll want to express your gratitude in some way.

Now, my son’s love language is words of affirmation so a long time ago, I learned that it wasn’t the picture on the card but the words written inside it, that were important.

Yet more than once I’ve thanked the universe for providing me with erasable pens when I try to write something super meaningful and end up the written version of tongue-tied.

That’s why it can be nice to have a bit of extra help if you’re looking for the perfect words to write on a card, gift tag, sweet message, love letter should you be apart, or even Instagram post to accompany your pics from your couple’s Christmas photo ideas.

I’ve taken these Christmas love quotes from a variety of Christmas songs, movies, novels and the like. Some stand alone, some work well with a few words after them as well. In these instances, I’ve put the quote in quote marks and the author or name of the film in brackets afterwards so you can do with it what you will.

I’ve even popped in some originals.

Consider these my Christmas blessing to you!
