"Jingle Bells" - This is especially for my granddaughter Beatrice.
It is probably the most popular song for young children at Christmastime. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822–1893) and published under the title "One Horse Open Sleigh" in 1857. “Jingle Bells" was first recorded by Will Lyle in 1889 on an Edison cylinder however no surviving copies are known. The earliest surviving recording was made by the Edison Male Quartette in 1898, also on an Edison cylinder as part of a Christmas medley entitled "Sleigh Ride Party." In 1902, the Hayden Quartet recorded "Jingle Bells". The song became a Christmas favorite in the early twentieth century. Hit recordings were made by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters (No. 19 in 1941), Glenn Miller and His Orchestra with Tex Beneke, Marion Hutton, Ernie Caceres, and the Modernaires on vocals (No. 5 in 1941), Benny Goodman and His Orchestra reached No. 18 in 1935), Les Paul had a No. 10 hit with a multi-tracked version on guitar. "Jingle Bells" has been performed and recorded by a wide variety of musical artists, including Louis Armstrong, The Beatles,The Chipmunks, Judy Collins, Nat King Cole , Perry Como, Plácido Domingo, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Jo Stafford, Spike Jones, Barry Manilow, The Million Dollar Quartet (Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley), NSync, Luciano Pavarotti, Laura Pausini, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Frank Sinatra, Gwen Stefani, Barbra Streisand, Fats Waller, and Yello, among many others.
"Jingle Bells" was the first song broadcast from space, in a Christmas-themed prank by Gemini 6 astronauts Tom Stafford and Wally Schirra. The astronauts had smuggled a harmonica and sleigh bells and broadcast a rendition of "Jingle Bells. The harmonica, shown to the press upon their return, was a Hohner "Little Lady", a tiny harmonica approximately one inch long, by 3/8 of an inch wide.

Lyrics
Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tail ring Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride 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.
