Christmas spirit certainly doesn't have to be limited to the human race. These animals have (albeit against their will) donned some festive duds and are waiting for you to ooh and ahh over them, preferably with treats. If Santa ever decided to sub out his reindeer, these little guys and gals would be waiting in the wings to do their part. Hell, they could even take over for the big guy himself.
