When December arrives, we think about major winter holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah.
We also think about Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, the winter solstice, Yule, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve,
taking stock of everything from the year, and setting New Year’s Resolutions.

December doesn’t have as many animal holidays and observations as other months, but there are still some important ones!

The only December Animal Monthly Observation is:

National Cat Lovers Month

Daily holidays during the first week include:

December 1 – 24: Operation Santa Paws

• December 2: National Mutt Day (also July 31)
• December 4: International Cheetah Day
