Mine is the timeless classic &#8220;Jingle Bells&#8221; that instantly takes me on a sleigh ride dashing through the snow. The song was written by James Lord Pierpont in 1857 for Thanksgiving and was originally called \u201cOne Horse Open Sleigh&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out the Jingle Bells video and get into the Christmas spirit.<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells\" width=\"860\" height=\"645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zqjNOnyHjC8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The carol undeniably puts you in a fun and gleeful Christmas mood. The sleighing and dashing over the snow and yes the tinkling bells take you to a magic winterland. And then there\u2019s Miss Fanny Bright and the <em>&#8220;upsotting\u201d<\/em> episode which adds a tinge of playfulness and mischief to it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a perennial Christmas favorite carol sung by generations. I\u00a0remember\u00a0singing it in my childhood days and now I see my niece humming it with her grandmum on every Christmas. Every year, I start my Christmas celebrations i.e \u00a0a week ahead of Christmas with \u201cJingle Bells\u201d and I keep on listening to it over and over again till the end of the year. Other carols that are also on my favorite list are: &#8220;The Twelve Days of Christmas,&#8221; &#8220;Deck the Halls&#8221;,&#8221;O Christmas Tree&#8221;, &#8220;We Wish You a Merry Christmas&#8221; and &#8220;Away in a Manger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BTW &#8220;Away in a Manger&#8221; was originally called &#8220;Luther&#8217;s Cradle Hymn,&#8221; and people thought it was actually written by Martin Luther. But it wasn&#8217;t! It&#8217;s an American folk carol written by an anonymous writer.<\/p>\n<p>So, it was my list of favorite carols. What&#8217;s your favorite one?<\/p>\n<p>Before I end my post I would like to wish everyone:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A Merry Christmas and may God&#8217;s grace be with you. I hope that your Christmas would be enjoyable and may the essence of Christmas remains always with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Best wishes<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> Abhirupa<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800080;\"> <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all have our own favorite Christmas carols and hymns.
