two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Men star right one time around tonight
Left allemande and weave the ring
**Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Swing your lady promenade
Although it's been said many times
Many ways Merry Christmas to you


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos


**And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads (Sides) promenade halfway around the ring
Down the middle and do a right & left thru
You flutter wheel straight across and sweep 1/4 more
Pass thru and do a right & left thru
Swing thru and then swing thru again
Swing your corner lady and promenade
Although it's been said many times
Many ways Merry Christmas to you


TAG

Although it's been said
Many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you
