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.

While the holiday has acquired various cultural and commercial elements over time, its core significance lies in the story of Jesus' birth as described in the Bible. Christmas is a time to remember and celebrate the hope, joy, and love that Jesus brings, and to live according to his teachings of love, compassion, and forgiveness.
