Christmas is all around us, which means it’s time for 14 nostalgic Love Actually memes

Watching Love Actually on a cold, December day is one sure-fire way to know Christmas is actually coming. I mean, it wouldn’t be the festive season without an indescribable, rising sense of rage while watching Harry give Karen that Joni Mitchell CD for the 50,000th time, would it?

The film definitely has its issues – and some aspects haven’t aged very well – but there are plenty of memeable moments which have solidified its status as a Christmas classic. So, stick on a seasonal onesie, pour yourself a hot drink and get comfy. Because these 14 Love Actually memes prove Christmas – actually is – all around:

1. She’s right and she should say it

That scene in Love Actually where Emma Thompson opens the Joni Mitchell CD is one of the greatest scenes in movie history. I won’t be taking questions.
