In time for us while wrapping Christmas presents and writing out those Christmas cards here are two fun songs that are perfect fun – namely “The Chipmunk Song” (1958) and “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” (1953).
By design today’s blog post is short and sweet! Enjoy!
The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late) – it won three Grammy Awards in 1958
“I want a hippopotamus for Christmas”
If you find yourself limited on time- remember the cards can be sent out after Christmas and as long as you have them post marked at the Post Office by December 31 – it counts – believe me it counts! Wishing you a fun Wednesday making time to enjoy the Christmas Holidays!
Anchors Aweigh,
Helen
