The First Noel


One of the most transcendental moments in my life took place in Cambridge three or four years ago. It was Christmas time, and as I was walking through this fairly dark and gloomy city (having downed two great cocktails and being the right side of tipsy), I heard the sounds of a children's choir singing "The First Noel". I followed the sounds and at some point stepped into the open doors of St. Mary's Church. I had never been cynical about Christmas music, but this was beyond mesmerising. In the end, I stayed until the end... Merry Christmas!
