Why We Love Quoting Christmas Films

There is something wonderful about quoting Christmas films together as a family it instantly signals shared history, shared laughter and shared tradition.

Whether you say it every single year without fail or only remember it the moment you hear it again on screen, these lines have become a staple in and down households.

Psychologists even have a name for the moment you think a quote is your own original thought before realising you picked it up from a film – cryptomnesia.

So if you have ever accidentally claimed a Christmas movie line as your own witty creation, you are absolutely not alone.
