A Dog’s Rules for Christmas

Christmas Scene

Be especially patient with your humans during this time. They may appear to be more stressed-out than usual and they will appreciate long comforting dog leans.

They may come home with large bags of things they call gifts. Do not assume that all the gifts are yours.

Be tolerant if your humans put decorations on you. They seem to get some special kind of pleasure out of seeing how you look with fake antlers.

They may bring a large tree into the house and set it up in a prominent place and cover it with lights and decorations. Bizarre as this may seem to you, it is an important ritual for your humans, so there are some things you need to know:
- Don’t pee on the tree.
- Don’t drink water in the container that holds the tree.
- Mind your tail when you are near the tree.
- If there are packages under the tree, even ones that smell interesting or that have your name on them, don’t rip them open.
- Don’t chew on the cord that runs from the funny-looking hole in the wall to the tree.

Your humans may occasionally invite lots of strangers to come visit during this season. These parties can be lots of fun, but they also call for some discretion on your part:
- Not all strangers appreciate kisses and leans
- Don’t eat off the buffet table
- Beg for goodies subtly
- Be pleasant, even if unknowing strangers sit on your sofa
- Don’t drink out of glasses that are left within your reach

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

Ah, the opening lines of Clement C. Moore's 1823 Christmas classic, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" or better known today as " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas". This poem, probably one of the most well know poems in the world today, brings to mind endless traditions and dreams and memories, Santa and snow, reindeer and gifts, and the joys of Christmas past and present.

Christmas day may only come but once a year but the memories and the traditions you create during that special holiday season will live on for years to come!
