“Jingle Bells,” written by James Lord Pierpont in 1857, was originally titled “The One Horse Open Sleigh.” It was composed for a Thanksgiving program at his church in Savannah, Georgia. The song captures the joy and excitement of winter sleigh rides, a popular pastime in the 19th century. Despite its association with Christmas, it wasn’t written for the holiday season. Over time, the catchy melody and cheerful lyrics made it a Christmas classic. Its popularity spread globally, becoming one of the most famous holiday songs ever, symbolizing the festive spirit and winter fun.
