A few of the words

SLEIGH

DASHING
"Dashing through the snow" opens the carol's very first line, setting the breathless pace that carries the whole song. James Lord Pierpont published those words in 1857.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
REINS
Holding the reins of a fast-trotting horse on an icy road took real skill, a light, steady hand kept the sleigh true while passengers laughed and the bells rang out.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

About Jingle Bells

Few songs fill a room with warmth quite like "Jingle Bells", the crack of the reins, the bobtail's bright ring, the fields opening wide under a grey winter sky. Written by James Lord Pierpont and published in 1857, it was originally titled "The One Horse Open Sleigh" and conjured the pure giddy rush of a New England sleigh race. Generations have belted it out around the piano, in school pageants, and on front porches strung with lights, laughing all the way.
