For dog lovers like us, nothing says (er–barks?) “Merry Christmas” quite like an adorable pup who is channeling the spirit of Kris Kringle himself. Like Santa Claus, dogs bring us bags full of goodies–snuggles, love, play, joy, and the occasional slimy, drool-covered chew toy–all year long. Yappy Ball-idays!

“Only one ear fits inside, Ma…”

2.Were twelve doggy Santas with red hats so grand.
“Look! Carolers!”

3. This wise Santa has seen Christmases galore…
(And knows that if he lays near you under the table, you’ll slip him some Christmas ham…)
4. And it’s this baby’s first; there will be many more!
Presents? Food? OH BOY!
5. This Father Christmas has soulful brown eyes…
“You’ve been good this year, and will be gifted with puppy kisses all year long!”
6. And this one is tired from flying the skies…
“I’ve been all over the world delivering presents. Gimme a break, wouldya?”
7. This K-9 Kringle has cuteness to give…
“Mewwy Chwistmas, I wuv you!”

8. He knows you’ve been naughty, but he will forgive.
“Just keep letting me sleep on your side of the bed and you’ll make the Nice list.”

- 9. This Mr. Claus doesn’t like this year’s treats…“Liver?! Last year you gave me peanut butter cookies with my milk!”

“Turkey! ‘Tatoes! Eggnog!… ” *Snore*

11. This one’s red hat should remain out of sight…
“Not. Impressed.”
