"Jingle Bells," originally published in 1857 as "The One Horse Open Sleigh" by James Lord Pierpont, was originally intended for Thanksgiving and celebrated high-speed sleigh racing in Medford, Massachusetts. The original song tells a more adventurous story across four verses, detailing a chaotic winter sleigh ride that differs from the shortened, sanitized holiday version commonly known today. [1]
