This is what you wanted for Christmas, right?

Because this is everything we could have ever dreamt of: An adorable monkey named Cosmo going for his first swim in the bath. And Cosmo loves swimming in the bath. Like looooooves it. 

"We have been giving Cosmo weekly baths since he was 2 weeks old. Up to this point he would only wade in shallow water," the video's description explains. "He finally had the confidence to step in deeper and realized he could swim. After we dropped in a few treats he started diving."

And because YouTube is YouTube and commenters have no idea what Holiday spirit is, things went negative. To which Cosmo's owner explained, "Java Macaques are good swimmers and enjoy the water. When Cosmo is old enough to go out in his outdoor enclosure he will be able to swim whenever he wants in his own diving pool."

This video makes us happier than a monkey in a bath!
