If eaten, holiday decorations such as ornaments, tinsel and poinsettias can all damage a pet's digestive system. Even gifts under the tree can be easily shredded by the claws of a pup or kitten, and the toys, food or jewelry hidden inside can (and probably will) be eaten.
The Christmas tree itself can also be trouble. Dogs may knock it over and cats may try to climb the branches, leading to harmful crashes as well as the pets getting tangled in the holiday lights.
Additionally, while adornments on pets such as bows around the neck or holiday costumes are very cute, they can lead to irritability or in extreme cases even suffocation.
Lastly, when New Year's finally rolls around try to keep the noisemakers to a minimum so you don't scare the pooch or kitty.

DO you speak Dog?
Two Dogs meeting for the first time can size each
other up without even a bark or growl. In a matter
of moments, with a series of glances and postures
they know whether they're going to be buddies or enemies.
DOGSPEAK
TEETH BARED, eyes staring, ears flattened forward, tail horizontal and wagging slowly, a low growl that originates in the chest and progresses to snarl-"Come closer and I might bite." (intimidation tactic)
YAWNING -"I need some alone time." (stress)
HEAD DOWN or turned to side-"You're the boss." (submissive gesture)
HEAD HIGH, tail up, body tensed and still-"Hey what's that?" or "Sure look me over over. I'll bet I can outrun you!" (conveys interest, or a challenge to another dog)
A LOW, assertive growl-"Get off my property!" (territoriality)
HEAD OR PAWS RESTING on another dog-"I'm the boss of you." (dominant gesture)
HEAD LOW, rump in the air, a light, high-pitched bark or soft play-growling-"C'mon. let's party! I've got the ball, see if you can take it from me!" (an invitation or playful challenge)
RAISING OF HAIRS along neck and/or back-"I'm ready to fight you." (threat posture)
TURNING AND HOPPING, with short, high-pitched yips or a happy howl-"Hi! It's a good to see you!" (excitement)
LOUD, repeated barking, sometimes with a growl-"Get away or I'll bite you!" (aggression)
SHORT, sharp barks or a low whine- "Danger!" or "Something's out there!" (alert)
LOW, moaning barking, with a low, whining growl "Who's out there?" (worry and anxiety)
ROLLING OVER, showing belly-"Don't hurt me, Boss." (deference posture)
LOOMING over another dog, tail wagging-"Because I said so." (dominant posture)
LONG, sustained howling-"Why did you leave me out there alone?" (separation anxiety)
