What do you do when you feel burnt out from all the holiday festivities on top of your regular workload? Dream about putting your feet up to veg, or sleeping, right? 

Kids deal with holiday burn-out by actually falling asleep – whenever and wherever they can! The Huffington Post recently shared a hilarious slideshow from Naps Happen of the adorable and random ways kids pass out for naps after holiday burn-out. Everything from falling asleep inside a toy box to sprawling backward over a shopping cart is included.

Moms, consider yourselves warned. We parents are not likely to win a bet with our kids that plays out on Facebook.

Case in point: Newton, MA. dad Dan Urbano, who promised his 7-year-old son a pet cat if his Facebook plea for one garnered 1,000 likes.

Urbano apparently thought he had nothing to worry about, but his son's post included the adorable photo to the left (click to enlarge it). It garnered 110,000 likes within hours of its appearance.

Over the weekend, the family became the happy new caretakers of a shelter cat named Hairietta L. Pawturr, whose middle initial stands for — what else — "like."

Perhaps I wasn't vocal enough about my love for Animal Planet's ode to all things small and fuzzy, Too Cute, so let me be clear: it's the awww-somest hour you can spend with your television. Take this clip, for example, of Reginald the long-haired Persian kitten being introduced to the world of bathing and Pantene-commercial-worthy blow-drying:

You're welcome!

We love when friendships exist despite differences, so of course we can't get enough of this unlikely pair. Watch how Snowflake the puppy helps Pipsqueak, a pygmy goat, become friends with the rest of the puppy pack — then show your kids. So cute!
