Dearest Santa,

This is my very first time writing you – and oh my gosh I can’t believe I’ll actually get to meet you this Saturday!  Can we do a selfie together?

Santa, since you know everything about everyone, I don’t have to tell you my whole story, but what I will tell you is how much I love my barn, and my Raindrop, and the new girl Michelle (although she is blind like me, she is very bossy right around dinner time).

Like I said, I love my barn. It’s so cozy. But I’m, how can I say this … we’ll I’m a messy pooper. I don’t always make it outside before I have to go. You know how that is, sometimes, Santa?  Sorry, maybe you don’t but anyhow, it makes a bit of a mess and I don’t like mess.  We really could use another shovel – this one is nice because it’s lightweight and that means the kids who volunteer here (I love those kids!! They are full of kisses and hugs for me!) can use it more easily:  https://tinyurl.com/shovel-for-raphael

Every Saturday the kids come into my barn and do a full purge of my barn stall – it’s so nice and then it’s totally clean and smells fresh. My barn is down the hill from the compost pile, though, so they have to run the tractor.  His name is Bob. Bob needs some maintenance including this grease gun: https://tinyurl.com/grease-gun-for-raphael-and-bob  He said it has to be THAT grease gun. He was really specific about it.  I like Bob. Bob keeps my space clean.

Now, Santers, I love salt. We all love salt and it’s very good for us. We could get a huge block to put on the ground, but then I might accidentally poop in it and that would ruin it. These are such a wonderful and tidy idea – look at this! You can hang the smaller salt blocks on the wall – and at my height.  I’m short, you see.  But Michelle and Raindrop my sheep friends are also short, so it works out so nicely.  https://tinyurl.com/salt-block-holder-for-raphael

And here is the salt that goes in them!  https://tinyurl.com/salt-for-raphael  Oh, I do so enjoy a home improvement project, don’t you!?

Santa, I love people. I just love it when they hug and kiss me and tell me how amazingly cute I am (it’s true, but still nice to hear it!). Here is where they can sponsor me! https://shop.stargazingfarm.org/product/sponsor-raphael/

Love you Santa,
