Para quem já gosta de exibir seus animais de estimação durante o ano, a temporada de Natal é a época perfeita para fotos temáticas. O Instagram, que já costuma ter infinitas imagens de cães e gatos, fica especialmente tomado pelos bichinhos fantasiados de Papai Noel e até decorados com luzinhas.

As hashtags #ChristmasCatsOfInstagram e #ChristmasDogsOfInstagram já tomaram conta da rede social, com centenas de imagens de animais de estimação no clima festivo. Alguns, claramente, curtem mais o momento do que outros:

Hi doggy furiends! Did you hear that Santa Paws @jolly_old_st.nick is asking us to post our best howliday pics and to tag him? He will share them with his elves, and they will pick one to share! Izzy and I need to step up our game! For now this is my best. I've been super tired lately, but I'll try to be even more festive. #WordsOfWisdom: Sometimes we need a challenge to wake us up and get our creative juices flowing. #dogholiday #santapaws #holidaypup #howlidays #holidaypics #stnick #christmaspuppy #christmasdog #christmasdogsofinstagram #christmasdogs #holidaycheer #santaandhiselves #cammie
