Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas?
Las December I put together this Squidoo lens on the Christmas novelty song, I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas. Dad and my cousin Mike had just introduced it to me last year, and I made the lens as a way to gather whatever I could find on the album. After a few months, I basically forgot about it.
Once Black Friday hit, though, I noticed the lens was started to generate some affiliate sales. I thought that was pretty neat… but it’s been a few weeks now, and so far that one lens has led to 44 sales and over $20 going to Blood:Water Mission.
The best part is that it isn’t even Christmas yet.

Hi Kid!
I’m glad to hear your lens was a “sleeper” hit! I found you when searching for keywords for my lens. That’s a fun old song. Thanks for the memories! I did not know the Jonas Bros had covered it. That’s great news…now a whole new generation gets to love it.
