hippotamuseses

The beginning of the christmas season for me is not the proliferation of christmas decorations in the stores the day after Halloween.  It's not Black Friday shopping deals.  Not even the first snow.  For me it's when WNIC in Detroit switches from its easy listening (snooooooooze) format to 24/7 christmas music.  You can't help but smile every time you happen upon it.  It just seems to take me back to those anxious nights waiting for Santa to come.  The snow forts and snowball fights.  The ice skating and hot chocolate. And when you hear them you know the gnar can't be far behind.  And every year i wait for this song to be played... by far the most ridiculous christmas song of them all... hippotamuseses!
