Best Answer

The ringing or jingling of bells has been a time honored tradition since the pagan winter celebrations. This tradition was meant to ward off evil wintertime spirits with the help of noisemakers. Among the early noise makers were the jingling bells. This tradition has also evolved into the making of noise at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve.

No. Jingle bells as per those on sleighs were originally designed to warn people that a sleigh and horse were near. As the vehicle moved, the sound of the bells alerted those in it's path to be aware. In Russia, the bells were said to scare away wolves

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.
