Yes, I am a sheep
and only for Christmas time
and a bit longer.
Yes, I’m on a tree,
not a real one, obviously,
there’s tinsel and lights.
And are we happy?
Hard to say, since we don’t speak,
and we never have.
So we continue
to spin slowly for Christmas
and New Year as well.
Then back in that box
and for everyone, until
next time, see you then.

Thanks so much, Sadje. That photo was excellent since we have a little stuffed lamb just like that on our Christmas tree. We will put it up tomorrow!

That ornament is almost real. That sheep is from New Zealand – such a long way to come here!! Thanks, Dave 😊

That important box lives in the dining room. It’s very useful in many ways, like crackers for example – dreadful jokes and silly paper hats!
