| S | We have a game of
letters Which we're going to show to you, And each will name his letter As he holds it up to view. I have an S—a crooked S, It stands for sugar sweet. |
| A | And here's an A for apple
pie. |
| M | And M for good mince
meat. |
| T | T stands for turkey, fat and
brown, We have on Christmas day. |
| S | And here is S for Santa
Claus, And also for his sleigh. |
| I | I stands for icicles and
ice, |
| R | And R for reindeer
gay. |
| H | H stands for home and
happiness, |
| C | And C for Christmas
day. |
| Y | And next in line comes letter
Y; It stands for youth and you; We couldn't do without it, It's in the New Year, too. |
| R | I have an R, it stands for
Right, And I will hold it high; |
| R | And mine I'll place beside
it, For R also have I. |
| E | I like the letter E the
best, For what is Earth without it? And Everything begins with E— Does anybody doubt it? |
| M | I hold in hand a great big
M, It suits me to a T; M stands for mother, money, too, And, yes, it stands for me. |
(All now stand close together and hold their letters at the same height. Then the following lines may be given in concert or spoken by the leader [S] alone.)
| Now if you read our letters
down From left hand to the right, You'll find a Christmas greeting For one and all to-night. |
Then beginning at the the left, each child may name his letter—
M-E-R-R-Y C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S.
