Greetings and welcome to Hattingdon’s selection of Christmas hats for 2024.
We kick off the festivities with this golden classic hat — embellished with a trio of jolly white jingle bells. We named the hat Carol.
Isn’t she pretty?
Oh, by the way. Did you know there is some debate concerning where the song Jingle Bells comes from?
Two different towns, hundreds of miles apart, both claim to be the birthplace of the iconic song. While Massachusetts-born Pierpont was living in Savannah, Georgia, he had what would be “Jingle Bells” published and copyrighted under the title “One Horse Open Sleigh” in 1857.
However, many claim the tune was written years earlier at the Simpson Tavern in Medford, Massachusetts, insisting the author was inspired by his childhood home of Medford where the winters are more apt for sleigh riding.
Jingle bells are sleigh bells, by the way. See you on Thursday!
