two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Grandma had been drinking too much eggnog
And we begged her not to go
But she forgot her medication
As she staggered through the door out in the snow

Circle left
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Left allemande and promenade this eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru & get me 4 hands
Get to the corner, touch 1/4, walk and dodge
Your partner trade and then pass the ocean there
Ladies trade, recycle round you go, sweep 1/4
Slide thru and swing your corner lady
Allemande and promenade this eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
It's not Christmas without Grandma
All the family's dressed in black
And we just can't help but wonder
Should we open up her gifts or send 'em back

Circle left
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Left allemande and promenade this eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig
And the blue and silver candles
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig

Circle left
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Left allemande and promenade yourselves
You know they should never give a license
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves
