Jingle Bells

Iza Trapani

Jingle Bells as told and illustrated by Iza Trapani Dashing through the snow In a onehorse 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! Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride In a onehorse open sleigh! Soaring through the sky On a magic ride, In our sleigh we fly, Traveling far and wide. We can hardly wait To see and to compare How other countries celebrate The Christmas season there. Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle with delight. Let’s go tour around the world On this happy night! Here in Mexico There’s no need to be glum. All the children know Candy’s sure to come. Bearded little gnomes Bearing gifts and toys Are often hiding in the homes Of Swedish girls and boys. Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle in the air. Christmastime is so much fun For children everywhere! See the folks parade In the Philippines. Lanterns that they made Light the cheerful scene. Polish families Feast by candlelight. The meal begins when someone sees The first star of the night.
