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
A big man with a white beard and a very loud laugh may emerge from your
fireplace in the middle of the night. DON'T BITE HIM!!
