Think about all you love about Christmas and ideas will pop into your head.  Whether you love about Christmas, the best pooch name is just around the corner. 

Think delightful aromas radiating from the kitchen, cold and snowy days, the warmth around the hearth, good times, great friends, happiness and joy.  

Presents and Decorations—each can inspire a name. 

Movies, shows and characters will not mind sharing their names with your fur baby. 

Last but certainly not least, Christmas is a religious holiday.
