"Jingle Bells" is one of the most well-known and beloved Christmas songs around the world. Originally written by James Lord Pierpont in 1857, it was first published under the title "One Horse Open Sleigh." The song celebrates the fun and excitement of riding through the snow in a sleigh pulled by a horse. With its cheerful melody and catchy chorus, "Jingle Bells" captures the joy and spirit of the winter holiday season. Though commonly associated with Christmas, it was actually written for Thanksgiving.
