on back of packaging:
JINGLE BELLS / In the 1850s, an American songwriter named James / Pierpont wrote a catchy song about sleighing. He took / its title from the last line of his chorus, calling it "The / One-Horse Open Sleigh." Over time, the first line of the / chorus proved more memorable than the last, and "Jingle / Bells" found its place among America's greatest hits. / This Keepsake Ornament recalls the "Jingle Bells" story / of a young man dashing through the snow, seated beside / Miss Fannie Bright, blissfully unaware of the drifted / bank that was waiting for them just a little farther along / in the song! / HOLIDAY / MEMORY CARD / ENCLOSED / For decorative use only. Not for children under 8. / Concue a des fins decoratives seulement. / Ne convient pas aux enfants de moins de 8 ans. / (C) 2003 Hallmark Licensing, Inc. / Mfd. for Hallmark Cards, Inc., Kansas City, MO 64141 / Made in U.S.A.
