Have you ever heard THIS part of the Christmas Story?

Little bits of the lovely advent festival are still floating around at home. We have a little candle (i bought it from the CATHOLIC shop which a treasure trove of odd things) with a fir wreath around the bottom. And we still have our St Nic bag of lollies, having one or two each night before teeth. And Bax keeps singing bits of the little song that goes with the Christmas Story and involves the regular managerie; oxen, donkey, dove, mouse, hippo. Hippo?! Yes you heard right Hippo!!

Every time we sing the little song he does the actions for each animal, ears for a donky, horns for an oxen and then he says "Hippo?" He is convinced that if there isn't a hippo in the Chirtmas story there should be.
