During Christmastime, we're hustling and bustling trying to get everything together. (It's a season of many tasks!) It's all for good reason though, because getting to enjoy that holiday breakfast right before opening up those Christmas gifts under tree is definitely worth it. Still, it's important to not stress yourself out when planning all the little details! Remember to take a step back and think about the true meaning of Christmas, and even take some time to laugh! The most ideal way to do that, at least to us, is by reading these funny Christmas quotes.

Some of these quotes, sayings, and jokes would make a clever Christmas Instagram caption! This one from Garrison Keillor is a prime example: "A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together." Others on this list poke fun at those who love their Christmas décor more than anything else, like this Charlie Brown Christmas quote one from Charles M. Schulz: "Christmas is a box of tree ornaments that have become part of the family." There are plenty of Santa quotes and Christmas jokes that kids and adults will both find hilarious. No matter what point you are in the holiday season, reading these funny Christmas quotes is the perfect way to unwind during a busy time of year!
