My hippo knowledge only comes from this song: "Mom says a hippo would eat me up, but then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian." - I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas (Hippo the Hero) Song by Gayla Peevey

My favorite Xmas song. It brings such joy!

This is going to sound weird but thank you for this comment. I can’t stand that song and absolutely feel rage when I hear it play but if I know it brings someone else joy, it’s easier to stand. (Seriously, I work with toddlers and am so sick of Baby Shark but the joy it brings to the kids makes it tolerable.)

Oh…the Christmas Shoes song sends me into a rage so I feel you. My dad is a goofball so even though he’s in his 70s we put this on and dance around like a pair of aholes. Good hippo memories for me.
