Deck the Halls
Writing Contest

Theme:
Christmas Through the Eyes of Your Pet
Entries Due November 30th

This year we're going inside your pet's mind to see what they think about Christmas! Do they love it? Do they hate it? Do they have to save Christmas for their owners? That's up to you! Don't have a pet? Think about the point of view of one Santa's reindeer, a polar bear, or Mrs. Claus's cat!

​

It’s up to you!
