I especially love the imaginary hippo made from the table. And I love the picture of the mother sitting on the stair who is exasperated with her daughter’s Christmas wish. My original copy of the sheet music of this song is tattered and torn and I keep it in a sheet protector. It must be at least 45 years old.
