The incomparable Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters have created one of the best versions of this long popular holiday song.
"Jingle Bells" is one of the best-known and commonly sung winter songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822--1893) and published under the title "One Horse Open Sleigh" in the autumn of 1857. Even though it is commonly thought of as a Christmas song, it was actually originally written to be sung for Thanksgiving. James Lord Pierpont originally composed his song in 1850.
