I seem to repeat this every year:
The often chaotic holidays are no time to indulge your kids to get a kitten or a puppy. So, I won't repeat it - but you can read all about the reasons for "why not" in last year's article here:

Now, here is a great (and long-lasting) alternative: give the gift of Reading (and Learning, opening up some awesome worlds to your kids - and yourselves, for that matter).
How about Pasha's Book. These are fun short stories about my wonderful Rescue Cat (I still miss him so much) - and his mischievous Buddies from the Shelter.
The book is available for Kindle (ON SALE for only 99c) and in Print on Amazon.
