These are some adorable photos of cats and kittens at Christmas. It is like they are telling the story of the night before Christmas. They are all dressed up in their Christmas finest waiting for Santa to visit them.
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house...
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
While mamma in her 'kerchief
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,

And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose,
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
