Jingle bells is supposed to bring holiday cheer but a plaque at 19 High Street in the center of Medford Square in Medford, Massachusetts, commemorates the "birthplace" of "Jingle Bells", and claims that Pierpont wrote the song there in 1850, at what was then the Simpson Tavern. Previous local history narratives claim the song was inspired by the town's popular sleigh races during the 19th century.
“Jingle bells, jingle bells. Jingle all the way!” Shimmering white snowflakes fall on my windshield as “Jingle Bells” blares on my car radio. It’s dark outside, but my house is lit up with Christmas lights. That’s all I see as I’m driving down my long driveway. As I walk through the door of my warm, cozy home, I can smell the hot chocolate on the table. The mini marshmallows swim through the steaming hot lake of chocolate in my Santa Claus mug. Christmas isn’t just a one-day kind of holiday; I can feel the Christmas spirit the whole month of December. It 's like dancing around in a winter wonderland; joy and happiness fills your whole body. A smile never leaves my face.
