Christmas music comprises a variety of genres of music normally performed or heard around the Christmas season. Music associated with Christmas may be purely instrumental, or in the case of many carols or songs may employ lyrics whose subject matter ranges from the nativity of Jesus Christ, to gift-giving and merrymaking, to cultural figures such as Santa Claus, among other topics. Performances of Christmas music at public concerts, in churches, at shopping malls, on city streets, and in private gatherings is an integral staple of the Christmas holiday in many cultures across the world.
Music associated with Christmas is thought to have its origins in 4th century Rome, in Latin hymns such as Veni redemptor gentium. By the 13th century, under the influence of Francis of Assisi, the tradition of popular Christmas songs in regional native languages developed. Christmas carols in the English language first appear in a 1426 work of John Awdlay, an English chaplain, who lists twenty five "caroles of Cristemas", probably sung by groups of 'wassailers' who would travel from house to house. In the 16th century, various Christmas carols still sung to this day, including "The 12 Days of Christmas", "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen", and "O Christmas Tree", first emerged.
Dashing through the snow
On a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tail ring making our 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 one-horse open sleigh
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
Oh,What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago,i thought i'd take a ride
And soon miss fanny bright,
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into drifted bank
And we,we got up sot.
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
Oh,What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

Now the ground is white
Go it while your young
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song!
Just get a bob-tailed bay
Two-fourty for his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack
You'll take the lead.
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
Oh,What fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh.
