    Gack!!! If it was December I’d be singing “All I want for Christmas is a Hippopotamous”. Too cute!

      Never, ever, heard this song until my mid-forties, when I transferred to a school that used this song in their Christmas celebration. I am very fond of it now😉

    I want a house hippo and a miniature giraffe.

    I’ll settle for snuggling this guy.

      I do like the idea of a “house giraffe”.
