I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas

I missed the blog prompt last week on Britmums, so thought I would do it today for your viewing pleasure. The prompt is "All I Want For Christmas..."

I posted earlier this week about being a bit bah humbug this year. To be honest financially we are still very tight, my work has gone quiet for Christmas, so we are being frugal, which is fine by me. Joseph has plenty to open this year, and that's my main concern. We are not giving gifts to each other this year.

My favourite Christmas song is the title of my post. I love this whimsical song, and it always makes me smile.

So if you happen to see one in your travels, send a hippo my way!

However in all seriousness here are my Christmas wishes.

1. Restraint to eat sensibly and keep up with the exercise. We will be in Germany for Christmas this year, where restrained eating is not easy at the best of times, and with my in laws, who are always generous with the food, and the drink!

2. A great pair of running shoes and some decent tracksuit bottoms.

3. A Richmond Tigers t-shirt, and Dear Santa, if you can help Richmond in the pre-season that would be ace!

4. A return ticket for 3 to Australia.

5. A kiss and a cuddle from my 2 favourite men!

6. And a serious one, for all the mums, dads, grandparents and siblings with babies in special care this Christmas to have a blessed, and calm day with their beautiful babies. 

What do you want down your chimney this year?

  1. I create a comment each time I like a post on a site or if
    I have something to contribute to the conversation.
    Usually it is triggered by the passion communicated in the post
    I browsed. And after this article "I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas".
    I was actually moved enough to post a thought ;) I do have 2 questions for
    you if you don't mind. Could it be simply me or does it look like some of the responses appear as if they are written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting on additional social sites, I'd like to follow you.
    Could you make a list the complete urls of all
    your shared pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter
    feed?

  2. Howdy outstanding website! Does running a blog such
    as this take a lot of work? I have virtually no understanding of programming however I had
    been hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyhow,
    if you have any recommendations or techniques for
    new blog owners please share. I know this is off subject however I just had to ask.

    Many thanks!
