The First Noel 3
What would "Noel" be with no "L" sound? It would just be "no", or if you think of just the sound, it could be "know".
Several words are given below. Your challenge is to make new words by adding the sound of some letter to the sound of the given word. There may be several letters which could work, but only one is correct. Then take each of the added letters and rearrange them to form a word related to the first Noel (Christmas).
Example: Given "know + _", one possible answer is Noel (adding an "L" sound). The letter "L" would then be used as part of some word related to Christmas.
_ + tow
serve + _
_ + light
can + _
_ + ball

V + tow = vetoserve + A = survey
D + light = delight

I + ball = eyeball
The added letters, VADDI, are an anagram of DAVID.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the city of David.
Here are some lyrics from "Once in Royal David's City":
"Once in royal David's city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little Child."
