I hate that song ... the voice of the person singing it makes my skin crawl

I still remember old Mrs. Fried in the 4th grade making us learn to sing this song for Christmas. Still hate it.

I’m 63 and have never heard (or heard of) that song.

Great! Thanks so much for posting this! This song has been sort of stuck in my head, I like the new TV ad that has it! Shared this story to FB!

It's hard to believe that was the biggest Christmas hit of 1953--but Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby" and Stan Freberg's
"Christmas Dragnet" didn't offer a whole lot of competition.

Hippos are nasty characters.
They kill people in Africa on a regular basis.
