The holidays tend to be quite the introspective time of year. We focus on what we have achieved, what we want to achieve and who has been good to us in the past year. However, that means that we are not all too aware of the many unique gatherings that are happening all around us. For you see there are farmers frolicking with frogs, there are painters palling around with pelicans and perhaps best of all there are carpenters creating content with cats. So we figured you might enjoy a brief recess from all your introspection, and we went ahead and made this list of wholesome animal family posts from the holiday season gatherings you never get to see.

From the comfy cows who gather once a year to sit around like dogs when no one is watching, to the boisterous bears who come together but once a year to quash any leftover fights, to the wild boar who descends upon the hoomans (perhaps a few more times than just once a year) to devour their yummy trash.

Now, this is something that you most certainly do not see every day. Beginning with the Llama in itself which is quite the wild occurrence in a wholesome hooman setting, and then you add to that his calm and respectful behavior in light of the event and you can be sure that you have never seen an animal this well-behaved in your life.

There is always that one family member who no matter what gets roped into helping everyone else in the family. They do not possess any specific skills or talents, but they know their place and will do exactly what you tell them. And this delightful dachshund is a pawfect example of just that.
