Sides face grand square
Snow is falling faster now and dusting on a hill
Skaters on the river, gentle dancers in the chill
The children's laughter ringing, as they overturn their sleighs
Left allemande and weave on Christmas day
Christmas in the country, like another time and place
I see it in the little things
You swing and promenade
It's crystal nights and far off lights and children count the days
Waiting for a country Christmas day

Head (side) two couples promenade go halfway round the ring
Come down the middle and square thru four hands around I sing
Four hands around and then you do the right & left thru
Veer to the left and ferris wheel you do
Centers square thru and go 3/4 round
And then swing your corner lady and promenade again
It's crystal nights and far off lights and children count the days
Waiting for a country Christmas day

Sides face grand square
The chimneys hold the promise of a friendly fire inside
And so it's after bedtime, all the children's eyes are wide
There might be cakes and short bread on a shiny silver tray
Left allemande and weave on Christmas day
Christmas in the country, like another time and place
I see it in the little things
You swing and promenade
It's crystal nights and far off lights and children count the days
Waiting for a country Christmas day

Sides face grand square
Dogs run after snowflakes in a never ending chase
Soft lights through the window, frost is delicate as lace
And reunited loved ones who've been far too long away,
Left allemande and weave on Christmas day
Christmas in the country like another time and place
I see it in the little things, in every smiling face
It's crystal nights and far off lights and children count the days
Waiting for a country Christmas day

Swing your girl
Country Christmas and love will lead the way
