Xmas

Getting gifts is great but giving gifts feels a whole lot more fulfilling! In this insanely adorable Twitter thread, user @averagediana shares a series of photos of her family giving their pet cat, Gus, a Christmas gift of $5. 

And even though, yes, Gus is a cat, and cannot do anything with the $5, it's the thought and sentiment behind it that counts. 

After the the tweet went viral, other users began sharing what their furbabies received for the holidays and it's simply too precious. 

Other users simply shared pics of their pets due to their uncanny resemblance to Gus himself! 

Either way, we're not complaining. We can look at cat pictures all day. And we do. 

Every year, every heckin' year. The tree goes up, then the chaos ensues and immediately comes back down. And if you're one of the lucky few, the damage is salvageable.

And every year, we see the drastic steps people have come to taken when it comes to protecting their tree. And every year, the pics just get funnier and funnier. 

Here are some of the best ones:
