The Christmas radio station in North Carolina has been playing nothing but Christmas tunes since sometime in early November...needless to say they've had to be creative in order to not play the same songs over and over. We've heard 2 songs this year that we'd never heard before, but no Christmas will be whole without them ever again. "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" was written in 1953, apparently for some Zoo in Oklahoma hoping to get a Hippo for Christmas that year...then there's "Dominic the Donkey", I have no real explanation for this one, but I'm pretty sure every holiday should have at least one song about a donkey!
I was able to find a couple of music videos of sorts on YouTube so you can hear these 2 Christmas Classics and add them to your own holiday traditions!

Thanks for sharing...we love hearing fun Christmas songs. My boys and I love the one about the hippo. I will share the video with them after school today!
Have a great one!
