Sleigh Ride

One of the songs we are singing in the senior chorale holiday concert is Sleigh Ride. It is a fun song all about riding in a horse drawn sleigh, where they go, “ Gliding along with a song in winter fairy land.” I grew up in southern California where snow was something I saw on Christmas cards. In Maryland we usually get a couple of snowstorms each winter, but generally the snow melts in a few days. I have never even seen a real sleigh.
Have any of you ever been on a real sleigh ride? Was it as much fun as it sounds like in the song?
