CHRISTMAS IS HERE

"Christmas Is Here" is a bright and joyful carol by Clare Ubawike that calls the congregation to celebrate the birth of the Saviour. With its lively, straightforward refrain, the piece captures the festive spirit of the season, inviting everyone to rejoice and give thanks for the arrival of the Lord. It is a wonderful choice for Christmas Day Masses and parish carol services, where its uplifting melody can truly shine from the choir loft.

The verses beautifully unfold the nativity story in three parts. Starting with the angel's message to Mary, the song moves through the Holy Family's search for a place in Bethlehem, ending in the humble stable. Finally, it turns to the shepherds watching their flocks as they see the star and hear the angelic announcement. This narrative progression makes it a lovely, storytelling piece for the choir to share with the faithful during the Christmas season.
