Jingle Bells

Dashing through snow

Jingle Bells is a popular American song written in the mid-19th century, originally titled "One Horse Open Sleigh." Though not explicitly about Christmas, it has become one of the most recognized holiday songs worldwide: The kids sang Jingle Bells at the school concert.

The title refers to the bells attached to a horse's harness. (Lowercase jingle bells are the bells themselves.)
