In the lead-up to Christmas, it isn't just Channel Islanders who are excited for the holidays.

From dogs and cats, hamsters and guinea pigs, as well as a couple of axolotls, everyone has been getting into the holiday spirit.

While we couldn't fit every picture we received, we want to thank everyone for sending in their festive furry friends - we enjoyed each and every one of them!
