Written in1857 by James Pierpoint, the song is actually an American classic about Thanksgiving and as such it used to have a very different title.

When it was first conceived the song was called One Horse Open Sleigh.

However because a lot of the lyrics are about winter fun, many people in Britain often tend to ignore half of the words when they sing it during carol concerts in order to keep it Christmassy.

Thus, the song soon became known as Jingle Bells instead.

The song was originally written to celebrate Thanksgiving 0_Traditional-Stuffed-Turkey-with-Side-D
