two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

*Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
*Jack Frost nipping at your nose.

Left allemande, home you go dosido,
the men star left one time you go.
Turn your partner by the right hand 'round,
left allemande and promenade.
**Although it's been said many times, many ways.
Merry Christmas to you.


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads square thru four hands and go.
'Round that corner with a dosido
Swing thru down the line, the boys run right.
You tag the line, all face right.
Do a wheel and deal, the turn thru.
Left allemande and promenade.
Although it's been said many times, many ways.
Merry Christmas to you.


ADDITIONAL LYRICS

*You know some turkey and some mistletoe,
*Help to make season bright


*So I'm sending you this simple phrase,
*It hits from one to ninety two


**Hug 'em up tight, gonna whisper tonight.
