Mother Santa loves Dogs!

This Christmas I really needed to post a photo of «Mother Santa» for a change, because of igualitarism and all and other recent reivindications within the European "Union"! So I found this wonderful image of a great soul singer, Mariah Carey, carrying this nice Dog! Though her songs are not quite my style, now I got to love her more, knowing that she LOVES dogs! Merry Christmas to all and Happy Hannukah also!...
