Funny Christmas photos of cats are too good to pass up when you need a little pick-me-up. These kitties really know how to celebrate, from knocked-down Christmas trees to decking the halls with musical meows, they're sure to garland you with giggles. And, of course, we can't leave out those oh-so-grumpy kitties who would be purrr-fect in teeny Grinch costumes — but we don't suggest you try to get these cats to go along.
