Today volunteer Kim brought over a discarded tree from her friend Michelle. Kim “decorated” the tree with food for lunch. Later, volunteer Pam came and told me about a Swedish holiday called St. Knut’s (or Canute’s). It was on January 13th. It seems the chimps celebrated it well, though a bit late…

    I was really concentrating on the chimp and the tree until a “certain someone” walked by with trolls in both of her feet. I lost it then. Fell into a pile of giggles!!

    Love those chimps!!

    smart chimp-chick that jamie … why pick the treasures from the tree when you can shake them out of the tree … again i notice the chimpsters chew w/their mouths closed (which i forget to do but it’s ok, i live alone except for my dogs and they chew w/their mouths open too) … and again: I WANT CHIMP FEET! thanks videographers for another endearing film-ette

    Wonderful video. Loved Jamie trying to take-off with the entire tree!!! And Foxie, walking around with “troll feet” is just priceless. Thank you.

    This was sweet and hilarious at the same time. Jamie pulling rank and just attempting to claim the entire tree (while her mouth was full!). And Foxie happily collecting all the trolls that were apparently banished from everyone else’s homes for St. Knut’s! Her new favorite holiday no doubt. Thank you – made my day. As always.
