Sleigh Ride ...

Wouldn't you love to take a sleigh ride? I would. I've always loved that old Christmas song, Jingle Bells, about the sleigh bells, one horse sleigh, laughing, fun and all that goes with it. Check it out...

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow

In a one horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bob tails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh and sing

A sleighing song tonight.



Oh, 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.



A day or two ago

I thought I'd take a ride

And soon Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot

We got into a drifted bank

And then we got upsot.



Oh, 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 yeah.



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.

-James Lord Pierpont 1857
originally as "One Horse Open Sleigh"


Christmas is my most favorite time of year. I love to celebrate with family and friends the remembrance of our Saviours birth. We're fortunate to have several Christmas get-to-gethers this month. I just love it!

(Note: Sorry that the song is double spaced, for some reason I couldn't get it single spaced. Just one of those things! :) )
