Holidays from Your Pets Point of View

The holidays? Oh, yeah, I love the holidays. My person brings a tree in the house, which is weird because when I bring stuff in from outside, I get in trouble. Anyway, I love the tree. I sniff it and, when she’s not looking, I pee on it – don’t tell her that part. I don’t understand all of the traditions of Christmas, but I like the one where she puts a water bowl under the tree for me. Very tasty. I like all the extra yummy foods too. I sort of help out with the cooking. It’s my job to look for falling crumbs or drops. But my favorite part of the holidays are the fun outfits I get to wear. I’m sort of a skinny girl, and I get a bit chilly in the winter. I just love my warm and, in case you didn’t notice, very sexy, Santa Paws outfit. It keeps me all cozy. And I am the best dressed dog on the block, if I don’t say so myself.

The holidays? You must be kidding. Bah-humbug, the whole thing is a waste of time, if you ask me. That freaky little dog gets all excited and bounces around non-stop. Why can’t she just settle down and act mature like me? Okay, I’ll admit it, there are two things I like about Christmas. I always get a special can of cat food. That is something I look forward to all year. And I get to look all intimidating in this hat. I pretend not to like it, but I do. I look pretty good huh?

Add this to your Jersey

We’re getting to the best part of football season, folks. You’re either a die-hard fan, know someone who is, or you may be of the more mild variety (a fan, but not a fanatic). I know this next statement will sound utterly crazy to those of you who fell proudly into category one, but bear with me here. There are even some who, and it pains me to say this, are not football fans at all.

For those of you who aren’t into throwing around the pigskin, there are other sports you may be more excited by. It happens to be basketball season as well. Even if you aren’t a particularly huge sports fan, you can bring a big old thrill to your sports-lovin’ partner, spouse, family member or friend by heeding, and putting into practice the following tips.

Here’s a fun simple way to show some spirit, to support your local team, to cheer on your fave. Throw on your team’s jersey, or t-shirt, then add that little extra touch that goes soooooo far.
Wear something that relates to that team’s mascot or area. Let’s think about a few of the football teams looking play-off bound.

For example, how about them Panthers? (Stick with me, Panther rivals). Throw on your Carolina jersey, some black panther ears, tail, and “claws” and you are one fun, sexy Panther fan.


Jets fans, wear a jet on your head. Can’t find a hat that looks like a jet? Make your own. Glue some little plastic jets to a baseball cap. Or wear a pilot hat. This one is stretching it a little, but the sharp folks will get it. Pilots fly jets.

Those Giants are making a run at the Super Bowl again, but, alas, they don’t actually have a mascot. How do you spice up that jersey? Wear an oversized head mask?



Tennessee Titans have a raccoon as their mascot so you could paint a raccoon mask on your face, wear a raccoon mask, or at least wear some raccoon ears and a tail.



Just for pure simplicity, you might want to consider being a Viking fan. How easy and how cool is theirs? Just wear your jersey and a Viking helmet.

I suppose the Cowboys are just as simple. And there are a whole lot more cowboy hat choices than there are Viking helmets. If you want to be a sexy Cowboys fan, try pairing a cowboy hat with this outfit.

Personally, I wish those Buccaneers would do a bit better and get into the playoffs. I’d love to cheer them on, even though they aren’t really my favorite team of all. I could be easily persuaded to cheer them on like a nut, with the idea of wearing a Buc’s jersey and a pirate hat.

Whether it be at home, or at your local sports bar; whether you a are true-blue, died-in-the-wool fan, or a part-time, just-for-this game enthusiast, have some fun with the NFL. Even if you choose your teams solely based on the colors they wear, or if you don’t even know the rules (you might want to keep this last one to yourself) dress it up, yell and scream.

Don’t know a thing about football – not the teams, not the colors, nothing? You don’t have to be left out. Use this sexy football player outfit when he’s sitting down to watch the game and he may call time out.



And if you can’t come up with what to wear with your jersey, there’s always a crazy wig out there for you or face/body paint! These work for any sport, any team, any event.

'Tis the Season

It’s Santa time, everyone! Back in the old days, there was only one Santa and he was only seen on Christmas Eve. And that was only if you were supremely lucky enough to spot him coming down your chimney or eating the cookies left out for him. Then he got so popular he had to branch out. Through some magical winter phenomenon, or possibly exposure to secret toxic chemicals, Santa began to multiply.

Santas appeared in shopping malls, in front of businesses waving bells and collecting donations, at schools and hospitals. Then he broke into the big time and appeared on the big screen and television.

Every year, there are increasingly larger numbers of Santa sightings. How about joining the fun? Join a Santa event or, even better, start your own.

Santa Run or Walk. Join a bunch of fit Santas out for a 5 or 10K run/walk or a get a group of Santas together for a bar-hopping walk.

Santa Ride. Hook up with your local bike club and peddle through the streets of town or out on the trails. Decorate your bikes with lights and ornaments or make them up to look like reindeer and go for it. Or do the Santa Ride on a motorcycle. Nothing says Christmas time better than a group Biker-Santa’s cruising the highways.



Santa Theme Party. Invite a bunch of your favorite Santas for some dance floor fun or rocking-out Kris Kringle style. Whether it be at a club, bar, or house you’ll have a blast with all the sexy and fun Santa variations that show up. No better way to heat up the holiday nights.



Santa Paddle Out. All you water-loving Santa’s out there, grab your wetsuits and Santa hats and hit the water, whether it be to surf, stand up paddle, or kayak. The sleigh isn’t only ride Santa enjoys.

Santa Date. Take your favorite mistletoe partner our for a jolly good time. Whether it’s dinner and a movie or a more creative date, you’re fun-meter will be at the top dressed as Mr. and Mrs. Claus for the night.
