❌ Nope. Ironically, the writer of the song 'Jingle Bells' intended it to reference a completely different holiday.
Perhaps no single piece of secular music is more ubiquitous during the Christmas holiday season than"Jingle Bells," the venerable ditty about the joys of dashing through snow-covered fields while riding in an one-horse open sleigh. Ironically, though, the song's writer intended it to reference a completely different holiday.
Many local historians believe that Pierpont penned"Jingle Bells" while in Savannah experiencing his first snowless winter as an ode to his Massachusetts snowy upbringing. Regardless of precisely where and when"Jingle Bells" might have been written, it is clear the tune was not intended as a Christmas song. While several origin stories about the song"Jingle Bells" are extant, the mosthas it that Pierpont wrote the song for a Thanksgiving program at his father's Sunday school.
