Clever Christmas Captions

I’m only a morning person on December 25th.
I’m laying under my tree this year so my family knows I’m the gift.
It’s beginning to *cost* a lot like Christmas
Me everyday: slay. Me in December: sleigh.
Bah, humbug.
Forget the figgy pudding, I want cookies!
December isn’t over yet, but I already understand how the Grinch felt.
Has anyone ever actually had figgy pudding?
You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy hot chocolate, and that’s kind of the same thing.
Don’t get your tinsel in a tangle.
Make it Rein (deer).
Dear Santa…I can explain.
Dear Santa… define “nice.”
If Santa can get respect by eating cookies for breakfast and dressing in a glorified velour sweatsuit all year, then there’s hope for us all.

Let’s get lit.
The only thing getting “lit” this weekend are my Christmas scented candles.
Eggnog is not the answer. It just makes you forget the question.

Let’s get Frosty!
Ain’t No Laws When You Drink with Claus.
There’ll be parties for hosting, cocktails for toasting, and caroling sung way out of key.
I’m full of holiday spirit. It’s called wine.
I’m dreaming of a wine Christmas.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas. But if the white runs out, I’ll drink the red.
Instead of listing everyone in this photo, let’s just call it, “The Naughty List.”

What happens under the mistletoe stays under the mistletoe.
