Believe
it or not Jingle Bells, one of the most famous American Christmas
songs, 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. The
essence of a traditional Christmas is captured in the lyrics of Jingle
Bells and the sound effects using the bells have become synonymous with
the arrival of Father Christmas or Santa Claus to the delight of
children of all ages!

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
