Oh, our hearts grow tender when he comes ’round,
And we try to make happiness for all abound;
For his love for us makes us love you all,
So we love him, and we crown him for our king.
CHORUS.
Oh, ’tis merry Christmas, etc.
CURTAIN.

As they sing each holiday comes forward in turn and offers Santa Claus an emblem, which he hands to the children, and which they fasten—with pins or otherwise—to the high back of the throne, or to the curtain behind him, except the basket of flowers which May brings, and the roses from June. The basket is placed at his feet, and the wreath on the arm of the chair which forms his throne. The horn of plenty is also placed at his feet.
Each makes a low bow as he presents his offering.
