As we make our way through the chaos magic that is Christmastime, it's important to remember that the holiday is meant to be enjoyed! So, as you wrap up your holiday gift shopping, decorate your home with some lovely Christmas decorations, and get your kitchen ready for all of the festive meals that you're bound to make—go ahead and take a moment to put on a classic Christmas movie to ease your nerves from all the prep. If you ask us, nothing beats the holiday favorite we all know and love, Home Alone. This beloved film is full of iconic scenes, which in turn have given us some of the most memorable Christmas quotes. We've compiled a list of our favorites, which we're sure you also know all too well.
Kevin McCallister, too, experiences his own version of Christmas mayhem. Although his problems consist of accidental abandonment, home invasion, and shaving mishaps—the movie speaks to us nonetheless. Either way, many of the lines in the film are not only hilarious, but also could also work as a great Christmas Instagram caption! This short and simple one is proof of that sentiment: “Mom, does Santa Claus have to go through customs?” Read on for many more Home Alone quotes that are just like this.
