I am all for slightly off center Christmas music, but there are some Christmas songs that I just don’t get… When and how did “My Favorite Things” become a Christmas song? Maybe it’s just me, but songs from movies where the big climax involves running away from Nazis just don’t scream Christmas music to me.

I can do you one worse in the “horrible Christmas music” department. I keep hearing this horrible annoying song on the radio that goes, “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas, only a hippopotamus will do” It is sung is this high pitched 40’s style adult-trying-to-sound-like-a-
kid voice, and it gets stuck in your head! Where on earth did this song come from, and who on earth decided it was a good idea to play it on the radio!?!
