These tiny one-week old pygmy goats wore velvet Santa hats as they clambered onto a pile of gifts.

Piebald goat Buddy settled down for a nap on top of a pile of wrapped boxes, joined by sibling Snowball.

The pair live at Almond Valley Heritage Centre, Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland.

They wore red velvet Santa hats but managed to resist chewing them.
