The pictures of the dogs with their candy canes are great! Those are keepers!! Looks like they had a blast! It's funny how they can act differently at Christmas time, too isn't it?
When I was growing up we had a schnoodle named Pepper. Every year he would get a Santa Claus squeaky toy for christmas. Even if it wasn't the same Santa squeaky toy from year to year (shaped different or even made with a different kind of plastic or latex), he knew that one wrapped present under the tree was his and it ended up being his favorite toy all year long (that's why he needed a new one each year). Somehow, he knew it was special. When he died we buried him in the backyard with his latest Santa squeaky toy.
