The top ten wintery birds are black-capped chickadees, white-breasted nuthatches, finches (house, purple), northern cardinals, blue jays, American goldfinches, common redpolls, brown creepers, cedar waxwings, and red-breasted nuthatches. They don’t so much fly in for the beautiful winters as they just choose not to leave. As it turns out Canada apparently has a lot of birds that stick it out year-round. Not having a background in ornithology I wasn’t sure exactly what sort of bird flew into winter while all the other (smarter) birds flew south so I googled it. Staunchly rugged people with a penchant for frostbite and a weird disdain for the indoors.īecause he is smarter than the rest of us. But I’m happier thinking about the bells than the snow, to be honest. I’m relatively happy tonight because I’m indoors and full of hot dinner so. It’s sorta beautiful if you squint and don’t think about the drive in to work tomorrow. Snow is definitely glistening in the lane and everywhere else. Right away I’m in a festive mood because: sleighs with bells. So sleigh bells, to me, are not a practical thing so much as a good times holiday thing. The White Witch of Narnia did not have bells on her sleigh because she had banished Christmas, you see, but when Aslan neared and kick-started the thaw which allowed Santa back in, sleigh bells returned with him. Sleigh bells aren’t something I have a lot of practical experience with except in the context of Christmas songs and snowy literature. I think this song is presuming we are outdoors. There is nothing new that can be done with this song except maybe for Jimi Cringle to do a heavy metal version which is sadly lacking. I really could have listened to probably fifty-seven more versions since this is one of those songs that is perpetually and always added to Christmas albums. After awhile they all blend together and sound sort of like a vaguely jazzy choir in my head. In order, versions by Lena Horne, Amy Grant, Tony Bennett, Harry Connick Jr., and Diana Krall.
