We’re already in the THIRD week of December! Can you believe it? With the temperature getting lower and lower and the piles of snow getting higher and higher here, in Wisconsin, I can believe it. 😉

My 3rd cover for the 2016 December Challenge is “The First Noel.” 🙂

If you’re not familiar with the lyrics, they are:

The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star,
Shining in the east, beyond them far:
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
And by the light of that same star,
Three Wise Men came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star whersoever it went.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
