One Christmas my Sister told her daughters ( who I need to tell you both had colds and couldn’t hear very well because of congestion and that does figure into this story) that she wanted ‘ fleece’ stuff for Christmas.

She meant blankets and clothes etc etc.

My nieces thought she was weird- but they figured ok. My sister’s nickname is Bunny so if anyone gives her animal stuff it usually involves rabbits. They thought she wanted a change. Which is fine.

So my nieces went out and bought my sister:

Blankets with sheep designs, a sheep calander, coffee mugs shaped like sheep-  a plushie sheep dog.

My sister’s pile of gifts looked like a devotee of sheep farm collectibles  had blown up next to her tree.

She  loved her gifts because they were cute so she asked them what inspired the sheep theme  and they said, “because you asked for sheep stuff. “

That night at Christmas dinner I asked my sister since when did she like sheep so much and she told me, ” the girls thought I said sheep…I said fleece but it is what it is. “

Merry Christmas!
