two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Allemande and weave
You know a turkey and some mistletoe help to make the season bright
Swing her boys
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Why don't those heads (sides) promenade halfway you go
Come down the middle and square thru 4 count four
All the way you do then go right & left thru
Eight chain 6 across you know
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two

Swing her boys
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

Allemande, weave
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

*Merry Christmas
