    Of all the Christmas carols, this is the one that drives me nuts instantaneously: Jingle Bells

    The singers are so cheerful and giddy over "what fun it must be to ride in an one horse open sleigh".

    Do they even know what they are singing about?

    IIRC I rode in one of these things like 40 years ago somewhere in Switzerland when they had a winter strong enough that sleighs could actually come out and ride on snow (unlike the fake ones today on wheels).

    And it has been over 10 years that I saw a sleigh in the snow at all (last one was a fake on wheels).

    So I was curious who on here has actually done a ride in a one horse open sleigh recently? I'm guessing if anybody, it might be some folks from Aspen or perhaps the Alps. But I'm guessing it is a small number compared to the insane popularity of this song.

    Ha! Thanks for that feedback. As I suspected.
