Pets Experiencing Their Very First Christmas

We all love Christmas. It's magical, it's cheer, it's joy, it's gifts and ornaments and time away from work and with our pets and families. Our pets, of course, love Christmas too. Even if they don't understand exactly what's going on, they can feel our happiness and cheer, and it brings them happiness and cheer too. 

Every year, we celebrate our Christmases with our pets, making sure to of course leave a little gift for them as well, but there's something unique and oh so special about a pet's first Christmas. Whether they were just born and are experiencing it for the first time, or if they were just adopted, the joy that Christmas brings them passes right back into us. 

It's a circle of joy: happy us - happy pets, happy pets - happy us. 

Please enjoy these pictures of pets experiencing their first Christmas and have a happy new year, everyone!
