Jingle Bells Is A Thanksgiving Song:
“Jingle Bells” was originally written as a Thanksgiving song, not a Christmas song. The 19th-century tune, penned by James Lord Pierpont, may have been performed at a Thanksgiving church service. It was inspired by sleigh races in Medford, Massachusetts. There is a dispute between Medford and Savannah, Georgia, as to the true birthplace of the song.
