Thanks for sharing that! Also, fun fact: for 19th century young people, the "one horse open sleigh" was the equivalent of the later "Little Deuce Coupe": it was fast so they'd hold races (ergo the bit about getting flipped over on a snowbank), AND it could only hold two passengers (so young men and women could talk – and maybe more – without a chaperone sitting in the back seat).

Yes, "Jingle Bells" is about drag racing and making out. It's "American Graffiti" v.19c.
