It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

There is nothing quite like Christmas in the barnyard.

All of the animals are buzzing with excitement...

talk of Santa and his reindeer is heard for days before the big event.

Annie looks a little like the Grinch's dog!

Each and every one of the animals knows that special treats await them

during this wonderful season!

And there is nothing they like better than dressing up.

It's quite a process...

picking out their Christmas attire.

So much to choose from....

At first the jingle bells seem a little scary.

But after a few moments, curiosity takes over and the costumes start flying!

Without a mirror to view themselves,

they are all heard shouting "How's this look?" over one another.

Eventually, they each try on several and swap them for their favorite...

and after just a little bickering...

everyone has the perfect outfit to wear.

If you listen closely to the disguise of braying and neighing, you will hear

the teasing and laughter and gleeful banter that might otherwise go un-noticed.

Dressed and ready to party, they await their special treats of apples and carrots.

And if I know these two, a couple of carrots will be put away for Santa's reindeer, too.

Daphne and Chloe are always willing to share!
