A Secular Xmas (Christmas) song, written by James Pierpont (1822-1893) which had the copyright title of "One Horse Open Sleigh" back in 1857.
The song was originally written for Thanksgiving. It was not written for Christmas.
It was written 1850 for a Sunday school concert on Thanksgiving.
But in a Christmas play in Boston, the choir sang 'Jingle Bells' and it then became a Christmas tune.
from the jingle bell rock store of course!
No. Jingle bells as per those on sleighs were originally designed to warn people that a sleigh and horse were near. As the vehicle moved, the sound of the bells alerted those in it's path to be aware. In Russia, the bells were said to scare away wolves
Jingle Bells
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. Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight! 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. Now the ground is white Go it while you're young, Take the girls tonight and sing this sleighing song; Just get a bobtailed bay Two forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you'll take the lead. 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 Jingle Jingle all the way; Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one-horse... Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way Jingle bells!
