Emil was laughing when his mother put on the CD of ‘Oh I want a ‘Hippopotamus for Christmas’, he thought of that Unicorn song and wondered how Noah got all those large animals into that ark.

It was a few days after Christmas, Emil had gotten everything he asked for and more, even a hula hoop, he didnt even know why he wanted one, he just did,

“Mom, have you seen my brand new pair of roller skates?”, he called downstairs.

“Ask your father dear, he had it last out in the back yard,” said his ever unaware mother.

Emil thought,I could have snuck three calling birds, two french hens and the Partridge family bus in here and she wouldn’t see it.

“Never mind mom, I found it,” he yelled.

“Where was it dear?,” she asked.

“Under the miseltoe with daddy and some lady in a Santa suit”, Emil exclaimed.
