I was looking for some artwork and Christmas photos for my ” Little Windows ” post when I came across these photos-I thought I’d share them because they told little stories and you could see the part of my ‘little windows process’.

We all have that one relative in family Christmas Pictures who makes the stupid face ( now days it’s ducklips ) so that they will get all the attention when the photo albums get pulled out
– point in case the blond girl in this photo
Take your picture which one.
They both look pretty silly.
A traditional shot of Mom, Dad and the kids.
I ran it because I liked the ornaments in the background
Do you know what’s weird about this picture?
No lights on the Christmas tree. Not even candles. It’s to edgy and a little to out there for me!
I used to ask for things for Christmas that I knew I wasn’t going to get, I did it because I didn’t really care what I got. Like I said I was a weird and creepy kid and I had zero idea about what kids liked or what the popular toys were.
In dog behavior lingo, I didn’t know how to ‘kid’.
I don’t know how this song escaped me because my family liked novelty songs like this one. All I can assume is, they kept it from me on purpose for fear I’d spend the months leading up to Christmas asking for…
A Hippopotamus.
I’d have done it and I would have looked at my pile of presents on Christmas morning and put on my brave soldier face as I obviously forced myself to be enthusiastic over a pile of gifts that were probably pretty cool.
Here it is, probably the best Christmas song ever.
So sorry I never had the chance to use ya.

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do Don’t want a doll, no dinky tinker Toy 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, no rhinoceroses I only like hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses like me too
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian
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 a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses I only like hippopotamuseses And hippopotamuses like me too! They like me too!
