- Happy Christmas music : Jingle Bellshttp://www.dixielandcrackerjacks.comJingle Bells!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!Jingle Bells Dashing through the snow On a one-horse open sleighOver the fields we goLaughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ringmaking spirits brightWhat fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight Jingle bells, jingle bellsjingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh A day or two agoI thought I'd take a rideAnd soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank; Misfortune seemed his lot; He got into a drifted bankAnd we, we got upsetJingle Bells, Jingle BellsJingle all the way! What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleighJingle Bells, oorspronkelijk getiteld One Horse Open Sleigh, is een van de bekendste niet-religieuze kerstliederen ter wereld. Het werd geschreven in 1857 door de Amerikaan James Pierpont (1822-1893) voor het Thanksgiving-feest in de kerk van Savannah, Georgia. Het lied sloeg direct aan, en werd zodoende met Kerstmis herhaald.
