There are many beautiful animals that make Christmas.
These animals are iconic at Christmas, and the festive season wouldn't be the same without them! Here, we are going to look at the top six animals that make Christmas, starting with the one and only Robin!
#1 Christmas Robin
No animal say Christmas quite like the Robin.
Robins are perhaps the most iconic and loved Christmas animal we have. Robins are the most Christmassy little animal, they are such a delight!
Although Robins are resident to the UK all year round, these cute little birds are usually seen during the Winter time. When we begin to see the Robin, we know that the Winter has arrived in the UK.
Robins are such a big part of Christmas that they are often found in Christmas cards. Whether as part of Christmas cards, or as part of the festive Winter scenery, Robins aren't afraid - thankfully - of making their presence known at Christmastime!
#2 Reindeer
Reindeers are another adorable animal who are strongly associated with Christmas. Christmas wouldn't be the same without reindeers - they are a central part of it.
Reindeer's are another delightful animal which is associated with Christmas. They are Santa's helpers after all! There are eight reindeers that Santa has: Vixen, Prancer, Dasher, Dancer, Comet, Cupid, Dunder, and of course: Rudolph.
#3 Farm Animals
Farm animals play an important part in Christmas; farm animals are part of the nativity. The nativity is when Jesus was born. He was born in a barn to Mary surrounded with farm animals. Every nativity story told and every nativity scene displayed has therefore always had farm animals as a central part of the nativity.
The nativity is the most important aspect of Christmas, it is the reason why we celebrate Christmas in the first place.
Farm animals play an important part in Christmas. They are the animals which are part of the nativity. And, they are adorable too!
