You may be wondering how our scaly friends like to celebrate around the swamp.

This just means we get extra quality time with them. From Christmas carols and movies to sleeping and more sleeping, our alligators sure do have a great time around the holidays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most alligators don\u2019t eat much during the winter months, sometimes they can\u2019t resist a Christmas cookie or some eggnog (Pickles especially can get a little rowdy)! At Alligator Alley, we cherish the slower months to spend quality time with our alligators before things really pick up again in the spring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highlight of the holiday season is when Pickles dresses up in his Santa Claus costume and gives gifts to all his scaly friends. Last year, he got everyone their very own Santa hat. We are looking forward to what he\u2019ll come up with this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/gatoralleyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pickles-Santa.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gatoralleyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pickles-Santa.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/gatoralleyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pickles-Santa-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope everyone has a happy holidays!
