My 12 Animals of Christmas  From Susan Page Davis

1.  Donkey—one of the few real animals actually associated with the original Christmas.

2.  Sheep—Oh, yeah, they were there, too.

3.  Cattle—If you believe the song, they were lowing in the stable when Jesus was born.

4. Doves—These are often associated with Jesus because of the dove that lit on him at his baptism. Then there were those two turtledoves in the 12 Days song.

5. Camel—well, it’s not actually stated in the Bible that the magi rode them, but we all believe it, don’t we? Those men from the east were wise enough to know a camel was the way to go, right?

6. Reindeer—going secular now. We can’t forget Donder, Blitzen, et al.

7. Turkey—a favorite to grace the Christmas dinner table.

8. Mice—they’re always there. Not a creature was stirring …

9. Chipmunks—I always loved Chip and Dale 

and the way they destroyed Donald Duck’s Christmas tree.

10. Horse—Okay, we’re reaching here, but think of snow and a nice, brisk sleigh ride. 

Who’s pulling it? Right!

11. Cat—in honor of our fluffy kitty, Sora, who loves to bat the ornaments so much that we gave her a bright red apple ornament to play with all year long. Make sure those low-hanging ones are unbreakable!

12. Partridge—I guess you can tell I’m getting desperate here. It’s in a pear tree, of course.
