When I was a teenager, I knew three different guys named Noel. I was in Boy Scouts with one of them, I went to church with another, and the third was a family friend who was a labor union lobbyist at the State Legislature.

I actually wrote a holiday song about the one I had known the longest.

I called it, of course, The First Noel.
