sleigh bell
Santa's harness jingle
A sleigh bell is a small metal bell, typically spherical with a slit opening, that produces a bright jingling sound when shaken.
Traditionally attached to horse harnesses for winter sleigh travel, the sound warned pedestrians of approaching vehicles.
The distinctive jingle is now strongly associated with Christmas: sleigh bells ring, are you listening.
