I don't think Jingle Bells has anything to do with Christmas.

Mom is officially on her Christmas break. She has tomorrow through Tuesday off. She's had a busy month with a holiday event at her library and preparing for a Christmas cantata at her church. Those are all done and she's looking forward to a quiet relaxing holiday.

Well, it's generally played and sung at Christmas.

Sundance, I will try that. Hey, you’re right, a catnip cookie dunked in hot cider IS good.
Felix, thanks for the Barry Manilow music. Did you watch Barry Manilow‘s Christmas special last night? We did. It gave mom flashbacks to her youth. 😹 She lit the cigarette lighter she uses for sealing craft yarn, and was waving it in the air during 🎶 I Write The Songs 🎶 to make Daddy laugh. 😹 Obviously she is old-school, they use their phones today. 😹

Yes, Jingle Bells was originally a sleighing song that eventually became a Christmas song. When it first became popular, people would sing it while riding in their sleighs.
Coco, wow, your mom has been busy getting all that Christmas stuff done. I’m glad she can rest now and enjoy Christmas.

Mom did watch the Barry Manilow Christmas special the first night it ran, last week. She really enjoyed it - she's a big fan. Brought back memories for her, too. That's funny about your mom waving her cigarette lighter around!

So many people smoked back then, so everyone had a lighter.
Now everyone has a cell phone.

Yes, that's true about Jingle Bells. It didn't start out as a Christmas song, but over time it became one.

If you went to a concert now and waved a cigarette lighter around, everyone under a certain age would freak out, LOL.

When mom went to concerts everyone was sitting down. Now, there are no seats, everyone is standing. Mom couldn't stand through a concert now.

Yeah, mom saw a video of the audience in some concert recently, Taylor Swift or Katy Perry or somebody, and everybody was standing up. Mom thought, no way would I stand through a concert.
Are you saying that there are no seats there even if someone wants to sit down?

Mom couldn't do that, either. That's crazy.
