It was written 1850 for a Sunday school concert on Thanksgiving.

But in a Christmas play in Boston, the choir sang 'Jingle Bells' and it then became a Christmas tune.

How do the lyrics for Jingle Bells go?

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. Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight! 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. Now the ground is white Go it while you're young, Take the girls tonight and sing this sleighing song; Just get a bobtailed bay Two forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you'll take the lead. 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 Jingle Jingle all the way; Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one-horse... Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way Jingle bells!
