Believe it or not Jingle Bells one of the most famous American Christmas songs, was originally written for Thanksgiving!The author and composer of Jingle Bells was a minister called James Pierpoint who composed the song in 1857 for children celebrating his Boston Sunday School Thanksgiving.The song was so popular that it was repeated at Christmas, and indeed Jingle Bells has been reprised ever since.

Wow, I didn't know all that. Interesting facts my friend!
I wonder why it was written for Thanksgiving? It doesn't sound like it fits that holiday. It sure goes well with Christmas though!
