Whether or not you realize it, Instagram may very well be one of the best ways to remember life's best moments. The Christmas season, obviously, is no exception. Plus, most of us have already mastered the art of whipping out our smartphones the moment anyone around us, especially the little ones, do something hilarious or downright adorable. Top it off with an inspirational Christmas Instagram caption, and you've got yourself a digital scrapbook in the making.
