Yeah, so Santa, what took you so long? Everyone else gets to write to you, everyone else gets presents, and what am I? Chopped liver? I tell ya, ain’t no justice in the farm system these days. Finally, FINALLY someone says to me, they says, OK Sheils, your turn. First of all, my name isn’t Sheils and second of all, um, maybe there’s not a second of all. Oh yeah, I forgot, it’s that every frigging person here practically is old so when I hears people sayin, “oh yeah, that Sheila, she’s an old girl” my feathers get ruffled.  And I’m not a girl. I’m a ewe. And don’t ewe forget it.

OK so Santa, how do we do this? Do I just ask you to bring a bundle of cash and tuck it behind the hay bale? No? OK, yeah, you’re right, I can’t do much with cash except maybe eat it. We had a goat once who ate money all the time. No, better I ask you for stuff I know I’d really use, right? Am I right?

So last year someone sent Herbie some kelp meal. It was so unbelievably good. And it’s good for us!  It helps our immune system, our thyroid, our metabolism and it even makes us grow better wool. We lick it sparingly because it’s kinda costly, but believe me Santa, it’s so good! https://tinyurl.com/kelp-for-sheila-louise

So guess what goes really well with kelp? Yep! That loose himalayan salt. https://tinyurl.com/loose-salt-for-sheila-louise  Sheep need salt to keep all of our bodily functions going. It also helps in winter to make us drink water – you know, when it’s cold out you don’t always feel that thirsty but you still need to hydrate hydrate hydrate! You know what I’m sayin?

So here’s something you can’t just point and click at, but the back door to my shed is falling apart. It doesn’t have long. I mean, it’s kinda doomed. Usually it’s open so as I can get the fresh air, but sometimes I don’t want fresh air – I want to be cozy in my bed of straw. Maybe you can find someone with plywood, nails and a hammer and some common sense and maybe a little skill? I appreciate it, Santa.

Yeah, and so can you believe no one’s ever sponsored me? I don’t know what the deal is, but I’m a nice and polite sheep, and I will welcome a sponsor with a little foot stomp and a baa and then if they are good looking enough, they might get to pet me.  What do you say?  https://shop.stargazingfarm.org/product/sponsor-sheila-louise/

Yeah, Santa, it’s been real. Sorry I got kinda in your face at the beginning. I’m sure you’re a nice guy and all. Hey, maybe I’ll get to meet ya and we can talk when you visit the farm.

See yas,

Sheila L.
