Thousands of books, movies and songs use Christmas as a source of inspiration. We now sing countless renditions of happy carols every year (thanks, Mariah), and we watch our favorite holiday movies on repeat (nothing beats A Christmas Story).

If you can’t wait for winter break to get into the festive spirit, check out these Christmas quotes.

1. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear – Buddy the Elf, Elf (2003)
