Let's guess the Christmas song below!
Let's guess the Christmas song below!
jingle bells
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells.
We had so much fun skiing, we sat on the sled.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells.
How happy we are skiing, we are sitting on the sled.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells.
We had so much fun skiing, we sat on the sled.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells.
How happy we are skiing, we are sitting on the sled.
Through the blizzard we sat on the sled
Running across the fields we laughed and sang
The sound of horse bells is so refreshing
Skiing is really fun tonight, sing the skiing song
Just by looking at the lyrics, can you guess which Christmas song this is? I wish you all a Merry Christmas!
