Notes
Christmas

Christmas - 2 Couples (One Top and One Side Couple)
- Big
Christmas - 4 Couples (Both Tops and both Sides alternating)

person on your right. Your left arms goes over the right arm of the person
on your left with your left hand holding the next wrist behind the small

Tops are the leading Couple - Top Lady has hold of the right wrist of
the Side Lady and Top Gent has hold of the right wrist of the Side

semi-circle from the Little Christmas around to join with the other
Side Couple using the same hold.
- When
Sides are the leading Couple - to change to the Big Christmas both
Side Lady and Side Gent should release the right wrist of the Top
person then the Side Gent moves the semi-circle from the Little
Christmas around to join with the other Top Couple using the same
hold.
