15 Ways Elf Taught Us How to Love Others Even More Than Syrup

Love can be scary, so leap on it like it's a Christmas tree and see where the night takes you.

Sometimes the truth hurts, but maybe they need to hear it anyway.

OK, maybe don't eat gum off of an NYC railing, but you get the picture.

Sometimes love doesn't last because your significant other turns out to be as scary as this raccoon.

Heck, why not jam-pack the entire weekend with Christmas-related activities?

The best way to give someone your heart is to be yourself . . . even if that means you're most comfortable wearing an elf suit all day.

Show them how pumped you are!

A smile seems to solve all of Buddy's problems, so why not give it a shot? It will affect others around you.

If you know you're wrong, don't be stubborn. And remove any cookies you crammed anywhere.

You've got your own life going on, but make sure to ask your SO questions and show them that you care.

Don't forget to hit every conversation point; don't leave a single button to press later on.

Don't go looking through a loved one's personal things, and definitely don't creep on them in the shower.

But you just pick yourself up, throw another snowball, and move on.

If you love someone, you better be saying it as confidently as Buddy does.

Nobody gets sick of hearing "I love you."
