Christmas in the Chimp House

December 25, 2016 by J.B.

What a day!

Thanks for giving these chimps a reason to celebrate. It is such a joy for us to see your support transformed into pant hoots, food squeaks, and hugs. Happy Holidays!

    What a day is right! Two parties, wow! Thank you for taking time away from your human families to create a magical Christmas for your primate family! And thank you for all your time spent to share this day with us in photos and video. Your love and compassion is an inspiration.

    Wow! What a day it looks to have been. Thanks to the human volunteers for preparing the table and thanks to the resident family for sharing their joy with all of us!

    What a fun, fun day – for the chimps, the staff (who were having a ball setting things up) and for those of us who had a chance to see the video. It really made my weekend.

    Thanks so much for all you do for these incredible beings.

    I have been waiting for this video! It makes the holiday season complete. If only everyone would be ashappy and excited and joyful in their lives as these Chimps are, the world would be a much better place. May the New Year bring nothing but joy and happiness (and lots more parties) for all of them!

    first of all, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for your intensive labor to get these parties together. i am well aware that this is no small feat. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking time away from your human-families to be with your chimp-family . . . the cle unem seven. i am literally brought to “happy tears” every time that i see these videos. seven down there. two-fifty plus down in FL at “save the chimps” and thousands more to go ’til all are free . . . I PRAY FOR THE DAY !!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN for bringing this joy to us. i am also well aware what it takes to set up / keep up a website such as yours, not to mention the blog, and i am just GRATEFUL, GRATEFUL, GRATEFUL. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL HUMANS WHO WORKED TIRELESSLY – AND, OF COURSE – HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO THE BEAUTIFUL SEVEN ( that’s my name for them ). GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!!!!!!

    Thank you for all your hard work and especially to volunteers who took time out of their families holiday!!! I am curious to know how many Troll dolls Foxie received this Christmas? or Troll related items.
    I know she has enjoyed the Troll movie trailer,,,, this might be another youtube site that she might find interesting.

      Hi Holly – We didn’t count them but Foxie did receive many new trolls…at least a dozen! She also got a few new Doras too 🙂
