Someone point out to me where "Jingle Bells" became a religious song.
Well here are the full lyrics. Don't see one reference to any Christian holiday. It is a song regarding the winter festivity of riding in a sleigh during a snowy day. I guess any music a Christian plays regularly during their holiday season now is up for being banned. These people are completely off their rockers--absolutely Grinches if ever there was one. I can think of no other explanation then the leftist hatred of what they percieve as Christian or in the case AMERICAN being surpressed and belittled.
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Chorus:
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
O jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot
(chorus)
A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as I there lay
But quickly drove away
(chorus)
Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young
Take the girls along
and sing this sleighing song
Just bet a bobtailed bay
Two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack!
You'll take the lead
(chorus)
