A nursing home in Oregon brought in a festive alpaca to cheer up its residents

OREGON -- The one thing that would make everyone's Christmas a million times better? A FESTIVE ALPACA. With reindeer antlers and tinsel.

Maryville Nursing Home in Oregon, USA, were lovely enough to hire a special treat for their residents this Christmas. Instead of chipping in for some crackers, or baking some wonky mince pies, they went for something truly magical: a visit from the Christmas alpaca.

  

Napoleon is a therapy alpaca, who visits schools, hospitals, and nursing homes and brings JOY to everyone he meets. According to his Facebook page, he has an "independent, curious, and people-friendly nature", and loves carrots.

This Christmas, he was hired to pop along to, among other locations, Maryville Nursing Home, decked out in tinsel, baubles, and some reindeer antlers. Obviously, everyone loved him. Resulting in a series of ridiculously heart-warming photos and videos.

ENJOY THE MAGIC.

Look at the JOY on this man's face.

Selfie time!

MERRY CHRISTMAS.
