The most famous American Christmas song 'Jingle
Bells' was originally written for the purpose of Thanksgiving! A
minister called James Pierpoint was the author and composer of
Jingle Bells. He composed the song in 1857 mainly for children
celebrating his Boston Sunday School Thanksgiving. The song was so
popular that it was repeated at Christmas every year, and indeed
Jingle Bells has been reprised ever since. The real essence of a
traditional Christmas celebration is captured in the lyrics of
Jingle Bells and the sound effects using the bells have almost
become synonymous with the arrival of Santa Claus or Father
Christmas to the delight of children of all ages!
Jingles Bells
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 spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, jingle bells, jingle 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
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot
Oh, jingle bells, jingle 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 yeah
Jingle bells, jingle 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
To help you sing this Christmas
here are the lyrics of the all time great Christmas carol Jingles
Bells.
