It's the day before Christmas And all through the house The puppies are squeaking An old rubber mouse.
The wreath which had merrily Hung on the door Is scattered in pieces All over the floor.
The stockings that hung In a neat little row Now boast a hole in Each one of the toes.
The tree was subjected To bright-eyed whims, And now, although splendid, Is missing some limbs. I catch them and hold them. "Be good", I insist. They lick me, then run off To see what they've missed.
And now as I watch them The thought comes to me, That theirs is the spirit That Christmas should be.
Should children and puppies Yet show us the way, And teach us the joy That should come with this day?
Could they bring the message That's written above, And tell us that, most of all Christmas is love.
Time : The Most Precious Commodity

Pets can do that. Once we had a coal-black girl kitty who the children named "Tarpit". And T'pit demolished the Christmas tree and ornements for 2 years. One morning I came downstairs and she was at the top of tree molesting the angel and cat and all just tipped over. So the 3rd year we had an artificial tree -Ha Ha Pit lets see you chew this one up. Well, she didn't instead she bent the tree trunk, you know the up and down one. So we kept that tree for years, long after she arrived at Rainbow Bridge.
