"I want a hippopotomus (sp?) for Christmas. Only a hippopotomus will do..."
-- heard on 97.3FM

Call me a scrooge if you will. But, I cannot fail to observe that thanks to the ever-earlier start of the Christmas season, with stations like WLTQ playing non-stop xmas music starting in November -- rather than on Christmas day only, as I was growing up -- we have to hear stupid songs like that. Or Mariah Carey's forgettable "original" tunes.
