The Christmas Song    (D&R 138)   Ron Hunter

OPENER



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

Left allemande, home you go dosado
Now men star left around you go
Turn your partner by the right
The corner allemande, you promenade her home
Although it's been said, many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

FIGURE (twice for heads, twice for sides)



Those heads square thru 4 hands you go
And with the corner do a dosado
Swing thru down the line, the boys run right
Do a half tag the line, trade and roll
Everybody square thru 3 hands
Left allemande, swing the corner, promenade
Although it's been said, many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

ALTERNATE LYRICS



You know some turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright

So, I'm sending you this simple phrase
