I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

So many times listening to music channels on night when nothinn is on tv i found myself on the classic christmas channel and at least once a day i heard the song "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" so when buying patterns for African FLower animals i had to have Happypotamus. and inspired by the song i give you Mistletoe. Made with size 10 crochet cotton in white, victory red and shaded christmas. He is 5 inches from to to top of ears and 10 inches from nose to rump.
