It’s cute how you can hear Thimblefists knocking on the window with his thimbles. Then in the last panel though is Homestyle covering his while Thimblefists is singing?
70+ years of hearing singing of nearly every variety has taught me that singing is nearly always horrible. The human voice is not a musical instrument, and should not be used as such. But bad though it is, it is not the worst of sounds. When chipmunks start to sing, we are all doomed.
Georgia’s tweet below links to an adorable pair of Lupin photos. Our cat looks a lot like Lupin but I have never seen that particular expression in the first photo.
After Puck seeing the angry pine trees , I’m thinking the forest critters armour may be more about protection from the trees, than fighting with each other.
If Killer Kitty, Terror of Chipmunks, were still alive, I’d send him to the Pink House to sort out those annoying pests. My former SIL is from South Africa. The first time she saw a chipmunk in our back yard, she freaked out. She thought they were only cartoon animals from Disney.
Slightly OT; went to the shops after work yesterday and when I got home I discovered I needed to perform tree-age in the living room.
The “patient” was in a bit of a state having lost numerous ornaments and bead garland was hanging on by a thread. Once lifted back into normal position it was clear major surgery was needed. 2 shifty eyed suspects watched from across the room as parts were reattached and skirting replaced. After a cat scan (well 2 cats scan) the tree was proclaimed recovered.

I found a cute tin of Danish butter cookies at the store – the art on the lid made me think of Georgia’s work so I had to buy it even though I can’t eat the cookies. Ah well, guess everyone at work gets more holiday goodies :)
When I was a kid ,my siblings & I sang the WHOLE “99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall” on a family trip . (I’m surprised my dad didn’t throw the 3 of us out on I-95 :-O )
Hey, I like the Chipmunks. They bring back some good memories. Lol. Well, my cat Lyra was pestering me for attention and wouldn’t leave me alone. So I told her to get on the bed, she did and I brushed and gave her attentions. Smart-alec cat. _
Just looked at Georgia’s fb page and she had a note that Zazzle now has ornaments featuring the Tommybaum, so I linked to that page and they are really cute. FYI

Awww! Chimpunk carolers. Does one invite them in for hot chocolate? So glad we hadn’t seen the last of Homestyle and Thimblefist!

That’s pretty cool. BCN even reaches the wild critters. Thimblefists and Homestyle receive it somehow.

So they did show up. I was expecting Thimblefist but Homestyle is a bonus. They obviously think they are fierce but they are really just adorbs.

Here comes Thimblefist Chipmunk
Defending his favorite songs,
Tap, tap, tapping with his thimble gloves,
T. Fist can’t go wrong!
…….
Shoutmunks sing with so much passion!
I will show you, one, two, three
Listen to the Silver Bells,
So delightful, you will see!
…….
Here comes T. Fist Chipmunk,
With his squirrel friend, Home Style!
Sing, sing singing his favorite song,
Why doesn’t his friend smile?

What the Puck!?! Why, it’s a Thimble-fest! Yay!
“Carol of the Thimblefist”
♫♪♫ Hark how he yells,
About silver bells,
He seems to say,
Throw cares away
Christmas is here,
Bringing good cheer,
Wrecking our ears,
To young and old,
Meek and the bold.
So loud so proud
That is his song
With joyful bling
He’s caroling.
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air.
Oh how he pounds,
Raising the sounds,
O’er hill and dale,
Telling his tale.
Gaily he sings
While creatures cringe
Songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here.
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.
On on he sends,
On without end,
His joyful tone
To Pucky’s home. ♪♫♪
Merry Thimblefest! Do we hear Goldie chirping along? lol
