We can sort of understand Halloween. People who treat their pets like their kids dress their pets up for Halloween. Plus it's Halloween, that's what you do on Halloween: dress up in costume. But Christmas? When did we start dressing up for Christmas.. and thus dressing our pets up for Christmas?

CBS has a funny slideshow of reader submitted photographs of their pets dressed up for the holidays. And, if possible, these cats and dogs (and even a turtle) look even more tortured than the animals that were dressed up for Halloween. If you're a freak that does this, there's still time to submit your own photo.
