Twas the Night Before Vetmas: Our Annual Lighthearted Ode to the Veterinary Profession

Veterinary Viewfinder Podcast

Welcome to an annual ritual on "The Veterinary Viewfinder," where we pause from tackling tough topics to celebrate the holidays with humor, creativity, and heart! This week, co-hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mosser, MPA, RVT, share a special tradition: a veterinary-themed rendition of "Twas the Night Before Christmas." Beckie's original poem captures the spirit, dedication, and sacrifices of veterinary professionals while sprinkling in some lighthearted nods to chocolate ingestions, holiday emergencies, and the camaraderie that defines the profession. From vet techs, receptionists, assistants, and managers to oncologists, orthos, and GPs—this poem celebrates everyone in the veterinary community. Through laughter and real-life reflections, this episode is a love letter to veterinary teams everywhere. It's a reminder of the magic you create, the lives you save, and the joy you bring to pets and their families, even during the busiest holiday season. Take a break from the hustle, enjoy some holiday cheer, and know how deeply appreciated you are. Tune in for this lighthearted tribute that will leave you smiling and inspired. Happy Holidays from the Veterinary Viewfinder! If you enjoy our podcast, please leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or your preferred platform.
