One of the saving graces of the holiday season and all the stress that comes with it, are those certain pet owners with iron wills and a love of costumes.

#ChristmasCatsOfInstagram is a hashtag that exists -- for no other purpose than our pure enjoyment. And it's life changing -- just see for yourself.

There's really nothing like a disgruntled cat dressed as a Christmas elf to brighten one's spirits.

Two tails are better than one

The holidays are better when shared. Though to be fair, the joy of sharing is highly dependent on the company with whom one find themselves. Good thing for these cat duos, they go together like a daggy knitted sweater and holiday cheer.

Silly costumes

Nothing says "please give me all your gifts and stop fighting with each other about who has to do the washing up," than a kitty in costume, right?

Festivity by immersion

Some felines have experimented with going "full festive" this year by getting trapped, either intentionally or otherwise, in holiday decorations.

After I attacked our Chirstmas' tree, I decide I can be a much better one. 😼🌲 . I invited some furriends that may want to participate at #XmasCats2016 from @balous_life, @mausi.meow and many others!

Cats hate the festive season too

While festivus is supposed to be for the rest-of-us, some kitties have little time for dress ups and staged merriment. So for the grinches out there, no kitty Christmas list would be complete without a handful of grumpy but cute, sour pusses.

If this time of year gets you down, a despondent cat in a Santa hat can cure all manner of ills. You're welcome.
