Merry Christmas everybody! This is one of my favorite songs.

She starts to sing

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see my hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, or rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
a hippopotamus is all I want
Mom says the hippo would eat me up
But then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
The kind I saw this summer at the zoo
there's lots of room for him in our two car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there
And give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see my hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

	Rhiannon is in her thirties and has a ten year old. Tony and Jay are here and they're almost as old as me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can't have everybody be the right ages, can it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That would make sense, so no. It's stupid but that's the island for you. Oh! Rachel and Sarah are both moms now, I think they've been back here the longest of everybody. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So you're Auntie Jules, huh? That's pretty cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yup! 4x over! They're all fun kids, especially little Izzy, Rhiannon's daughter. The others are still in the carpet crawler stage. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I net they're adorable, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pft. They're related to me, how couldn't they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know. Some of your brothers are kind of funny looking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They grew up pretty hunky mostly. It's weird seeing my baby brothers all grown up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At least you don't have to see two versions of them. (Reply to this) (Parent)
