"Jingle Bells" was originally written for Thanksgiving, not Christmas! It was written in 1857 by James Lord Pierpont and was originally called "One Horse Open Sleigh". It was intended to be a Thanksgiving song and not a Christmas song. The lyrics were changed in the 1960s to make it more festive for Christmas, but the original lyrics were about Thanksgiving.
