Additional info/contents	Did you know that Jingle Bells was originally written for Thanksgiving and, due to its popularity, was also sung at Christmas? James Pierpont (1822-1893) composed the song in 1857 for the pupils of the Sunday School in his parish, to be sung during a Thanksgiving church service. The song proved to be very popular with the children, who were eager to sing it again at Christmas. This hasn't changed – it has become a Christmas standard. The song has been translated into many languages and has also frequently been arranged. Timothy Travis has made a big band version, in which the 'sleigh bells' themselves can of course be heard. Wist u dat Jingle Bells oorspronkelijk voor Thanksgiving geschreven is en door haar populariteit ook met Kerstmis gezongen werd? James Pierpont (1822-1893) componeerde het lied in 1857 voor de kinderen van de Zondagschool van zijn gemeente om tijdens een Thanksgiving-viering gezongen te worden. Het lied viel erg in de smaak zodat de kinderen het met kerstmis graag weer wilden zingen. Dat is nog steeds zo en sindsdien is het één van de Kerst-hits. Het lied is in vele talen vertaald en ook menigmaal bewerkt. De bewerking van Timothy Travis is er één in een swingende big band stijl, waarin de 'sleighbells' natuurlijk niet ontbreken.
