Forgetting Someone?
You’ve made your list and you’ve checked it twice. You’ve gone on-line and stood in line to score the perfect presents for your kids, mother-in-law, babysitter, and schoolbus driver. But have you forgotten someone, say, that loyal and oh-so-adorable furry, feathered, or finned family member?
According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, 56 percent of dog owners (including you-know-who), close to 50 percent of cat owners, and 27 percent of bird owners, purchase X-Mas presents for their pets. (And while we don’t give our canine kids cashmere sweaters or educational toys (SAT flash cards, perchance?), two of the popular presents cited in this study, we do gift ‘em with big barbeque sauce-covered bones, doggie treats, lots of squeak toys, and extra walks and car rides.)
So, does Santa bring anything for your special family members? If so, what will Fido and Fluffy be finding under your tree? Whatever it is—or isn't—hope your holiday's extra-merry!

During the holidays, charitable donations tend to increase (a good thing!). Hopefully, generous people remember those less fortunate creatures in the local pounds as well. They could use a little holiday spirit-lifting as well.
