It’s officially that time of year that you’ve been anxiously waiting for since December 26. It’s the time where the smell of cookies and pine trees fills your house. The air gets colder and you even get a little snow. It’s the time where people are ice skating and listening to festive music. It’s finally the holiday season! To help you get more in the spirit, I’d like to share with you seven quotes from "Elf" to use in everyday conversation this time of year.

1. “Santa!”

Whenever somebody even remotely starts talking about Santa, it’s always appropriate to just scream like Buddy and get excited.

2. “I just like to smile; smiling’s my favorite.”

Smile. All the time. And when someone asks why you’re smiling you can just use this as your reasoning.

3. “Son of a nutcracker!”

This is always appropriate to use whenever you make a mistake.

4. “I’m a cotton-headed ninny muggins.”

Also good to use when you mess up.

5. “So, do you wanna go eat food?”

This is a classic when you want to go grab dinner with your friends. Or when you’re trying to flirt with someone. Let’s face it, "Elf" quotes are the key to anyone’s heart.

6. “First, we’ll make snow angels for two hours, and then we’ll go ice skating, and then we’ll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse cookie dough as fast as we can, and then to finish, we’ll snuggle!”

For when you and your significant other are talking about possible plans for the night.

7. “Buddy the elf, what’s your favorite color?”

If you don't use this when you answer the phone this time of year are you even excited for the holidays?

Hopefully you are able to take these classic quotes and use them to spice up your everyday conversations. It’s sure to get you in the holiday spirit and you and your friends will probably be quoting "Elf" for the next hour of your day. On that note: “Bye Buddy, I hope you find your dad!”
