Christmas has officially passed, New Years was last night, and the first day of the year is, of course, a Monday. Because it had to be a Monday. Because the world couldn't give us one more day to relax before heading into the new year, and you know what? We're not ready to let go yet. We refuse. We acknowledge our denial, and we say: no. One more moment of Christmas before 2024 kicks us in the booties. One more moment of festivity and joy and cats living their best lives during Christmas.

Now that it's finally passed, we can officially ask you guys to send us the best reactions that your cats had to Christmas trees and twinkling lights. And that's exactly what we did. We can put together this collection of Christmassy cat goodness and allow ourselves a couple more minutes in bed and one more end-of-the-year recap before we face the music. So please enjoy this, everyone, and have a happy new year!

Okay, so this might be our favorite cat Christmas picture like- ever. We were expecting all kinds of silly things when we asked you guys to tell us about the funniest reaction your cats have had to Christmas tree and lights and ornaments, but a black cat screaming in front of a Christmas tree like this? We weren't expecting that. But we are eternally thankful for it.

Meowgical. That is the only word to describe this picture. These kinds of pictures, these kinds of moments, might be our very favorites from any and all Christmases. We love seeing our cats so adorably mesmerized. The same way that we feel the festive Christmas spirit, so do they, and we see that clearly in moments like these.
