It's Not Friday But...

I know I usually only share music on Friday, but since it's Christmas I think I can break the rules (I'm the one who made the rule anyway so I can change it if I want, right?) Anyway, the song I want to share is one of my FAVORITE Christmas songs.

The first time I heard this song was in high school. I was listening to the radio while I was getting ready for school, and a teacher from my elementary school called in to request the song. I listened to it, too busy getting ready for school to get up and change the station. It honestly sounded like the dumbest song. I swear I heard it like 100 times in two days after that. And then I didn't hear it and it made me sad. Somehow in the space of a few days, it went from the song I couldn't stand to the song I NEEDED to hear.

It's been a few years since that Christmas, and I hardly ever hear this song on the radio. Thankfully I have YouTube to get my fix. Last year my parents even bought me a hippo that dances and sings the song. It's great.

"I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" is my favorite Christmas song. I swear this will be the first Christmas song my children learn. I have also learned that I can't spell hippopotamus. Merry Almost Christmas peeps.
