After many years doing so today we did not sing The First Nowell. Despite my protestations last week about singing carols I find the First Nowell not a particularly interesting tune which does not merit that much repetition. This is a matter of taste as some people have similar feelings for, say, O little town. I was also aware that Epiphany hymnody could add a richness which a simple retelling of the story would lack.
As a new translation record today was the first time we used the first form of the Penitential Act - but I am not sure how aware people were.
