If we’re going to have a big celebration for Christmas, we want to include our animal friends, don’t we? The cats love to play with the Christmas tree, the dogs love the special food for treats, and Santa’s reindeer get all their press for the year in December. And the friendly beasts featured prominently in the birth of Jesus: the donkey that carried Mary to Bethlehem, the sheep that were being watched by the shepherds, the residents of the stable where He was born, and the camels who brought the wise men were all part of the Christmas story. In modern times, they are all part of the fun we have at Christmas, especially when we make fun of them, or see them making fun of us!
