As a child this was one of my favorite songs.....
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
making spriits bright
what fun it is to laugh and sing
a sleighing song tonight
Oh, Jingle Bells, Jingls Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh
I read this and thought it was interesting....
"Jingle Bells" originally, "One Horse Open Sleigh" is one of the best known and commonly sung secular Christmas songs in the world! However, it was originally written for Thanksgiving! The author and composer of Jingle Bells was a minister called James Pierpoint who composed the song in 1857 for children celebrating his Boston Sunday School Thanksgiving. The song was so popular that it was repeated at Christmas, and indeed Jingle Bells has been reprised ever since. Also, this particular song has been translated into many languages as well. Various stories of the song origins give the place a composition as Savannah, Georgia, Boston, or Medford, Massachusetts. This copy write was granted in 1857.

That is so cool! I didn't know that about the song. Right now, it is my four-year-old Arthur's favorite Christmas song. We sing it every day...over...and over...and over...and over again. I just have to tell myself that he is a four year old. LOL!
