More specifically, owners Trey and Nicole have enlisted Jack to balance holiday-inspired items on his head (think eggnog and [Christmas tree ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petinspired-ornament),) for each of the the "12 Days of Christmas." They've even switched the lyrics to the song to accommodate for all the festive objects that Jack merrily -- and expertly -- balanced. The project began with 12 candy canes and ended with a two-pound holiday ham, resulting in the most adorable Christmas countdown you will see this year.
