OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas!
Sides face grand square
Up on the housetop reindeer pause
Out jumped good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys

Left allemande, weave the ring, make lots of noise
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go?
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go? Oh,...
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade go halfway around
Sides (heads) go right & left thru and turn your girl
Square thru 4 hands around the floor
Find your corner and do an eight chain 4
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go?
Swing with Santa, promenade you know
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
First comes the stocking of little Nell
Oh, dear Santa fill it well
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that will open and shut her eyes

4 ladies promenade go one time around
Swing your lady, promenade on down now
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Next comes the stocking of little Will
Oh, just see what a glorious fill!
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks
Also a ball and a whip that cracks!

4 ladies promenade go one time around
Swing your lady, promenade on down now
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick


TAG

Bow to your partner and your corner too
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick
