Too often our holiday plans ignore the non-human animals in our midst. The twelve-day Solstice Festival is often no different, with humans enjoying ourselves while animals must adjust around us. In the spirit of acknowledging the entire circle of life, we offer a different view on The Twelve Days of Solstice.
More below the fold....

Yes it helps me balance,
And my tail is fluffy.

Oh wait that's your sister.
Whaddya mean a baby?
You're a bunch of nuts, and,
Of course you can climb my tree!
+++++
On the twelfth day of Solstice, a squirrel said to me:
Whoa I've got a headache!
Oops, dear excuse me!
Yes it's back there somewhere,
And my tail is fluffy.
My that was delicious,
Please no more eggnog!
Whose clothes am I wearing?
THAT'S MY GARDEN GNOME!
Oh wait that's my wife,
Feeding the baby.
He's a little nut, and,
We're all living in MYYYYYY TREEEEEEEE!
