    James L. Pierpont, who was at one point the Music Director of a Unitarian Church, wrote “Once Horse Open Sleigh” a.k.a. “Jingle Bells” in late 1857 at the Simpson Tavern in Medford, Massachusett.

    James Pierpont wrote the holiday song in the 1850s while he was organist at the “Jingle Bells Church,” the Unitarian church of Savannah Georgia. Legend has it that it was composed in a tavern in Massachusetts .
