Twelfth Verse.
December points to the stars with a crook in his hand to represent the shepherds watching their flocks by night. He can also enact the part of Santa Clans driving his reindeer steed, or crawling up and down a chimney. The game can end by his being a Christmas tree loaded with presents for all, while all the children in the ring dance merrily about him.
As this is a very long game it can be played in seasons, that is by representing the three months of Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter; or by playing each month in its turn. It can also be sung at an entertainment by a liltle more detail as to costume. The children can stand in rows of six, or three, each month stepping towards the front of platform and singing its part in regular order.
