Christmas Eve at the Chimp House

December 24, 2025 by Sabrina

It’s Christmas Eve at the Chimp House, and the place is buzzing with excitement. While the caregivers race around gathering treats and wrapping gifts for tomorrow’s big celebration, Willy is doing his part to get into the holiday spirit—staying active and hyping himself up for all the fun that’s on the way.

 

Staff and volunteers have been working all week, sorting through all the amazing donations and getting it all wrapped for the chimps holiday celebration tomorrow:

    I can’t read those puzzles. What a revolting development on Christmas Eve!

    “Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” Excrpt for Willie playing racquetball while waiting for Santa.

    Willy B you are so clever and delightful. He doesn’t even flinch when getting bonked on the head.

    Curious: 1) Do you ever expect to integrate Willie B back into Cy’s group soemtime? Or does George now make that unlikely?
    2) Who is living with Willie B? Honey B? Dora and Mauve?
    3) Would juat about any alpha male take on George like Cy has done, protecting and defending him? Is it alpha male behavior? Or is Cy exceptional?
    4) Rayne is Cy’s dister or half sister, is she a dominant female in Cy’s group?
    5) With Cy with George, who is acting alpha in his groujp at this time?

    Thanks! Penelope

    Isn’t it interesting how such simple little pleasures can bring such joy! I giggled throughout this clip. Thank you and Merry Christmas to all the chimps and to you wonderful humans who make life so satisfying for them!

    Willy B you are so smart. What a fun way to pass the time as you anxiously await Santa’s arrival!

    I don’t know what I enjoyed more….Willy B tossing his bouncy balls off the walls while including a few stomp dance moves OR you laughing at how silly Willy B is!! Sweet dreams and a Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

    It’s his own handball court! Maybe he’d like to watch some jai alai.

    Thx in advance to all who are working tomorrow and sacrificing their own holiday so that our chimpy friends can have a break in their routine. We see you!

    Happy Christmas to all of you, to the chimps, and to all of the readers in blogland. May your day tomorrow be filled with so much joy that your toes wiggle!
