On the ninth day of the advent calendar, there’s a beautiful drawing of ‘Noel’. This word, often seen during the holiday season, is a term that originates from French and means “Christmas”. It’s a reminder of the joy and cheer that this time of year brings. The drawing might depict the word ‘Noel’ in fancy lettering or perhaps it’s incorporated into a festive scene. Either way, it’s a delightful surprise to find on this day of the advent calendar.

The term “Noel” is a word that you often hear during the holiday season, especially in songs and carols. It originates from the French word “Noël,” which means “Christmas.” The term itself has roots in the Latin word “natalis,” translating to “birth.” So, when people use “Noel,” they’re essentially referring to the birth of Jesus Christ, which is celebrated worldwide on December 25th as Christmas Day.

In addition to its use in songs and greetings, “Noel” can also be a given name for both boys and girls. It’s a popular choice due to its connection with the joyous holiday season.

So, whether you see it on a Christmas card or hear it in a holiday song, remember that “Noel” is all about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and spreading holiday cheer.
