Christmas at McCarthy's

by Elizabeth F. Guptill

Let the Christmas joy and gladness in our hearts keep time,

While the Christmas bells are pealing forth their merry chime.

Let us all pass on the blessing sent us from above.

This the keynote of the day, the Christmas watch-word, “Love.”

Chorus:

Wave your banners, wave them gladly while your voices chime.

’Tis the golden time of year, the happy Christmas time.

(At close of song, go on with the following drill.)

DRILL.

Fig. 1.—Leaders meet, hold flags high, while others march under, and around, in two circles, twice. When they come the third time, they form in line behind others and raise flags, forming long arch. Back couple march down through it, and then up, outside it, to place, but do not raise flags this time. Next couple repeat this, till all have done so, and are in place once more.
