An American play-party song found in Ruth Crawford Seeger's "American Folk Songs for Children".  In it, she says, "At Christmas time this old play-party song becomes a companion to the favorite Jingle Bells.  Various game patterns may be improvised if desired, but free rhythmic play - with or without bells on ankles or wrists - is perhaps most loved."
