Music is very important during christmas celebrations even as those songs express the meaning, events and importance of the season through the lyrics. There are many christmas songs whether traditional, contemporary or even classical songs in different genre of music, however, my favorite christmas song is "THE FIRST NOEL". This is a song by Carrie Underwood that described the events that surrounded the birth of Christ aswell as the significance of His birth to mankind. One thing i so much love about this song is how calm and inspiring the song is coupled with how well arranged and sequencial the composition is.

"The first noel" is a popular carol song which is loved, accepted and sung by many. I remembered that of recent during the last Christmas carol service held in my place of worship, this sung was one of the selected hymnal for the carol. This Christmas song tells of the prophecy as related to the birth of Christ as told by the angels to the shepherds and how the shepherds believed it so and truly, how it came to pass with them showing honour and love to the born king by giving Him gift which is one of the most remarkable essence of Christmas i.e. showing love to others as much as we could.

Personally, the two forms i love this my favourite song to be taken is either as a classical or in choral form with selected soloist. Infact, to make it more meaningful to the people, some do add a short drama display of the lyrics for a better conveyance and appreciation of this christmas song. "The first noel" remains one of the evergreen christmas songs loved and cherished by me with every part of the song been lyrical content, instrumentation and even the composition itself been a great delight. In all, this is a season of celebration and also a seaon with reason which is extending love to all humans without prejudice or bias. It's a time to wine and dine even as we sing our favourite christmas songs, however, the important lessons learnt from the "born king" should never be ignored or downplayed.
