15 Christmas Carol and Song Lyrics That Make Wonderful Winter Instagram Captions

It's the most wonderful time of year, according to what Christmas carols and songs tell us, and we tend to agree.

Once Thanksgiving hits (okay, sometimes even earlier), we embrace all things Christmas, especially the music. Because there are so many catchy, joy-inspiring songs and only so many weeks to listen to them, we devour them like Santa Claus does any milk and cookies left in his path. They add so much to the holidays—and even to our Instagram posts.

Make Santa proud. Up your Christmas social media game with the lyrics you can use as captions below.
