I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

It's never too early to start on your Christmas cards! So let's get start thinking "Christmas in July!"

I've got a little music trivia for you this morning. The holiday song, "I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas" debuted in 1953. It was performed by ten year old Gayla Peevy and reached #24 on Billboard Magazine's pop chart that year. It remains NUMBER ONE on my holiday playlist though!


It was quite obvious to me when I saw Eyelet Outlet's new hippo brads that I HAD to create a Christmas card that honored this classic holiday song! I decided on using a slider for this card. Ribbon or cardstock can be used for these, but today I opted for cardstock to attach the slider. Eyelet Outlet's Retro Christmas Tree brads were an obvious choice and the Santa brad with the retro feel was, as well. I added a snowflake brad and a gift brad, too, but the dancing hippo brad is definitely the star of the show!
