We hold a Santa Paws Party at Christmas time. The idea came to me when after a few years of having Christmas parties and begging our friends not to bring hostess gifts (I decided that our generous friends would not stop bringing us gifts).......so I suggested that if they wanted to bring something to please make it a bag of dog/cat food, pet bed, pet toys etc so that we could donate it to a local non kill animal shelter. Remembering that it is Christmas for the animals too they share our world.
It's a great tradition to start.
