<p>On the Christmas thing, most obnoxious Christmas song that plays constantly on all-Christmas music statements as an oldie, even though I NEVER EVER heard it while growing up: "I want a hippopotomaus for Christmas!" It gets in your skin like spilled gasoline at the pump and reeks through your brain all day long!</p>
<p>Is there anyone on this board that ever heard that song before the invention of 24-hour Christmas stations?</p>
<p>Just curious... And, of course, killing time! :)</p>
