Anger dares not show his head on this glad Christmas Day.
Peace o’er all the earth, good will to all men,
Is the song the angels sang, we sing it here again.
CHORUS.
DIRECTIONS.
The leader should be older than the others if small children are chosen. He carries a triangle, the others an inch wide red ribbon two feet long, with six small sleighbells sewed on each ribbon. Be sure and have the bells small, as otherwise the number of them makes their accompaniment too loud.
These ribbons are held by the ends with both hands.
COSTUMES.
No elaborate costumes are required, but as some uniformity of dress is always effective, white dresses with red ribbons, for the girls, and dark suits with holly berries or knots of red ribbon in the coat lapel for the boys, would add much to the effect.
Or, all might dress in outdoor costume with fur caps, mittens, etc.
