Did you know that Christmas is an actual holiday and not just some fictitious celebration made up by Mariah Carey to sell albums? I can't believe it; I literally just learned about it this year. It's actually a quaint ritual that dates back centuries. Some say the traditional Christmas colors of red and green were chosen to dissuade the color-blind from celebrating. The color-blind cannot pilot planes; making them useless in Santa's army. Such fascinating lore!
Anyway, here are some dog holiday photo opportunities in Fishtown and surrounding neighborhoods that you may partake in with your pets to celebrate this ancient tradition.
Fishtown Animal Hospital - 233 E Girard Avenue : Sunday, December 10th, 2023 11am - 3pm
Stop by during the Fishtown Freeze for raffles, food, and adoptable pets. Sign up here for a Santa or Chanukah photo by Three Hearts Photography with a $35 donation. Includes a stocking or Hanukkah box with donation.
