MERRY CHRISTMAS!


Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way 
Bells on bobtail ring'
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh 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......

In this holiday season, we wish you and your family health, peace and happiness!
