The holidays are the perfect time for romantics and lovers to write ooey-gooey Christmas love notes to each other.
Speaking (um, writing) as someone who literally had a Christmas-themed wedding, I am all in-favor of Christmas being a sappy, sweet, snuggly, lovey-dovey holiday.
We should always celebrate the heartwarming fuzzies of seeing couples setting up Christmas trees, the poets scribbling with hot cocoa by the fire, the desperately-seeking-their-soulmate whose dreams of love include visions of sugar plums.
There’s nothing more romantic than ice-skating mishaps that turn into the how-we-met-stories. A “will you marry me?” proposal etched into a Christmas tree ornament? Yes, please — and talk about an amazing keepsake! Or what about a good, old fashioned date spent looking at all the holiday lights?
That will put a twinkle in your eye.
We’re always seeking ways to express the love we feel through the gifts we give at Christmastime. But perhaps the most important thing for lovers and sweethearts to consider is what to say to one another?
For your inspiration, here are 101 of our most romantic Christmas quotes for lovers & romantics.
