To be honest they all blew me away, but I'm a sucker for Kissmas pets! (Just remember, a puppy isn't only for Christmas...) :)

As someone noted above, Wall to Wall Mall really says a lot about the state of the nation. It's also a very successful exposure under what must have been tricky lighting conditions.
