What Are You Getting Yourself for Christmas?

[VetLegion]

I don't mean strictly Christmas, I mean the general period of uh, eh... anyway, everybody can participate in this thread.

So, what are you getting yourself? Yes, it's a bit pricey, but you know you deserve it! Tell us what it is.

[Wezil]

I don't know yet. I have refused to drop any hints so I don't know what to get.

Probably books. Books and maybe few DVDs. That's all I really need, I'll be happy with new books and DVDs for a long time. That's prolly what I get to others as well. For my mom, a DVD (I know the movies she likes so it'll be a great surprise), my dad perhaps a bottle if red wine, no wait. That's it. I don't give presents to my friends really, it's like a rule. No Christmas presents. It's a good rule, makes things simple.

There's this girl I'd like to buy something but I don't think it'll happen But hey, I can always masnegotiate.

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door,
that's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian.
(Short Music Interlude)
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!

Don't be sad. We can fix something else instead. How about a hammer?
