By Linda Manning
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Instead of sitting in the airport, I should have taken a sleigh
Over hills I could go
While the airport shut down with snow.
I’d be laughing all the way
While flyers yell nay, nay.
Bells on bobtails would ring, making spirits bright,
What fun to laugh and sing
If I’d taken a sleigh tonight!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
What fun it would have been to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh. Hey! Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it would have been to get home
Tonight, not next day.
