Something a bit different–or at least longer–today. I’ve been asking myself for the last two weeks, why do we do it? Do what, you query? Why, insist on putting Santa hats on every animal we can get to hold still long enough. Seriously. ALL animals seem to be fair game for this rather odd activity. If you don’t believe me, take a look at some of these pics. Maybe even one or two of them will give you a #ThorsDaySmile – assuming you don’t expire from an overdose of Terminal Cute first. 😀 Scroll down at your own risk!

I’ll start with the obvious choices. Our beloved dogs and cats.
(I have dachshunds, myself, but so far, I haven’t put them through this.)

But when your dog has a chump face, I admit, it’s hard to resist.

Where dogs go, cats can’t be far behind, even if it ticks them
off royally!

Or kills them, outright. (Sort of.)

And if household pets are fair game, what about barnyard critters?

Wee Two Pigs?

Llama, Llama, Christmas Mama?

Here a Chick, There a Chick!

And of course, small, furry animals, like this!

Or this!

Exotics, One . . .

. . . Two . . .

. . . or Three?

Wildlife????

Even BIGGER wildlife?

Zoo animals?

Santa CLAWS?

Yoohoooo? Enough is enough! Stop the madness, I say!!!

This whole thing has worn us out, so . . .

. . . bah, humbug!

And that’s all I have to say about that!
