Mr Hippo and his family were visiting one of their favorite stores yesterday for ornaments for their Yuletide tree, when who did Mr Hippo see but the jolly old fat man himself, shopping with his wife. He was wearing street clothes, but his full head of snow white hair and magnificant white beard gave him away instantly.
Mr Hippo leaned over to his young daughters and whispered.... "Look, that might be Santa" Mr Clause saw us and heard us and just gave a smile and said, you never know, but I hope you're being good.
With a wave and a nod The Hippo family went on their way. The girls were suitably impressed and discussed at length if that was in fact the real Santa. They decided that it just might be.
After Big Lots, The Hippo Clan made their way to Wal Mart, where his daughters sat in the lap of a cheesy fake Santa and had their pictures taken. The nice thing about walmart is that in the true spirit of the season, wal mart takes the pictures for free instead of exorbitant price gouging that so many other establishments charge for the honour of sitting in the lap of some old guy in an ill-fitting red suit and even worse fitting fake beard.
