We have been counting down for twelve long days (and planning for even longer) and it’s finally here! Today, we celebrated Christmas with celebrations that included wrapped presents, stockings, fireplaces, and a feast with baked sweet potato, fresh green beans, berries, and vegan Field Roast! What a day.
To all of the supporters who donated items from our wish lists for today’s celebration – a very hearty thank you from all of us! We could not do what we do without all of you who support us from home- you are truly the founders of the feast!
No matter what holiday you celebrate, or if you don’t celebrate at all, we want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season! 🙂 Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy this special time of year!

Oh, Katelyn, you *were* working!
Thanks for the blog, Grace, and the TWELVE minute video! :smiley:
My compliments to whomever was filming the Californians–that was some fabulous footage of Cy and Rayne, and I’m glad you caught Gordito going in and out of his house!
Thank you all for working on a holiday. I know some of you are from farther away, so this means not seeing family and close friends. I’m pretty certain the chimpy folk appreciate it.
Kathleen says
Thank you caregivers for taking time away from your family and friends to be with your chimp family. How rewarding to be on the receiving end of all those kisses, pant hoots, squeaks, and excitement!! Field roast is always a thrill.
And thank you for this epic 11 (eleven!!) minute video. What a wonderful gift to all of us.
Merry, happy, marvelous everything to all of you.

Happy holidays, stay safe and we’ll do it all again in 2023!

I enjoyed that video very much, Thank You!!!
And more to come tommorow…..
I’m not sure the Pacific West is as cold as other places in the US, but stay warm and enjoy the season.
Here in the Netherlands it is 8C ( 42 F) and raining….

Western Washington had an ice storm, but these guys are one hour inland. Not sure
