簡介
Jingle Bells（鈴兒響叮噹）這首歌恐怕是最為人們熟悉的聖誕歌曲。可是這首歌最初並不是為 聖誕節 所寫，而是為感恩節所作的。1857年，詞曲作家詹姆斯·羅德·皮爾彭特(James Lord Pierpont, 1822 - 1893 )的父親在波士頓一所學校任職。這首歌是吉米寫給父親的學生們，幫助學生們參加感恩節演出用的。歌中唱道：“雪橇賓士在雪地上，我們歡笑一路上，鈴聲兒響徹四方，我們情緒高漲，笑得多開心，雪橇之歌今夜唱。叮叮噹，叮叮噹，鈴兒響叮噹……”明快的鏇律、歡樂的場景、動人的童聲合唱，使這首歌成為150年來最重要的聖誕節保留曲目，也是世界知名度最高的歌曲。

歌詞解說：
[1]O'er是over的縮寫
[2]Bells on bobtailsring ,馬兒的尾毛為了避免被韁繩纏住而特意剪短稱bobtail
[3]And then we got upsot, upsot是在音樂上取代upset的一種寫法，整句意思是雪橇翻車
[4]Two forty as his speed, 這裡的速度是一小時22.5英里,原文完整表達應該是(traveling a mile in two minutes and forty seconds)行駛一英里花了2分鐘40秒, 標準競賽馬的速度也在這個範圍
[5]jingle bells.在這裡jingle在歷史上並不是形容詞,而是命令動詞,表示（使）鈴鐺叮噹作響
[6]bobtailed bay. bay做形容詞意思是栗色的,用顏色來只帶這種顏色的馬兒
[7]sprawling lie . 這裡的意思是四仰八叉躺在雪地
