38 Christmas Instagram Captions To Make Your Feed All Merry & Bright

As 2021 comes to a close, people everywhere are ready to spread holiday cheer. Because virtual greetings are always fun, consider sharing Christmas Instagram captions that will make you feel merry and festive. Whether your feelings about the holidays are sweet, sentimental, or humorous, there's a quip or quote ready to express your feelings. Even the Grinch's point of view gets a little recognition.

For many families, the holidays are all about making memories to last a lifetime and keeping up traditions as best you can, even while the world is constantly changing. It's a special time to spend with your children, whether you're baking batch after batch of cookies, watching all the Christmas movies on Netflix, or finally ripping into those sweet presents on December 25. For others, though, this holiday in particular is more about "eating junk and watching rubbish" like Kevin McCallister from Home Alone. (Honestly, this has been my vibe for quite a while now.) It's an unusual holiday season by all accounts — for the second year in a row, we have a pandemic to contend with while making holiday travel plans — but there's still a lot of joy and magic to be had this year. Whatever your take, here are some Christmas captions that capture the spirit and occasional chaos of the holiday season for all those in your feed.
