12 Days of Christmas: Celebrating the holidays with your pets

[Marjo]

Hi everyone, how are you doing today?

It is day 7 of our 12 days of Christmas celebration!       

One random lucky participant in each of these 12 topics will receive a £15 Amazon voucher. We'll announce the winners in the Christmas Day topic so you have lots of time to take part in each of the topics until then.

Today's question is below, and you can find yesterday's one here if you haven't taken part yet.

Looking forward to your replies!

Do you do anything special for your pets during the holiday period? Is there a special treat or present under the tree? Do they stay with you during Christmas?

Assuming everyone has a pet?

Or if they've had one in the past perhaps

I had a budgie as a kid.
He wasn't too keen on turkey for his Christmas dinner though 😞

Christmas-themed fish flakes for feeding the fish in a tropical freshwater aquarium has special meaning only for the one feeding, not for the fed...

Who am I to say those with pets don't get a little joy out of sharing the Christmas Spirit with their domesticated buddies?

I draw the line at putting shots of brandy or Bailey's in the fishtank, though - guppies are loopy enough as it is.

Don't currently have a pet.  This cheeky chappie and his family are regular visitors though   So we'll make sure they have plenty of nice berry suet and sunflower seeds

That's so cute @welshsteve76! How many members of his family have you spotted? 

@MI5 I remember my first cat on Christmas when she dropped the ham (our equivalent to the turkey) on the floor under the table, and licked it all over. My parents were livid  We were very careful after that incident!

@pgn  Don't make the guppies too happy!
