  Jose Mari Chan has been known for his Christmas carols most especially with the blaring “Christmas in Our Hearts” that engulfs the start of the Filipinos’ Christmas season.

  “I’m very fortunate that my song, ‘Christmas in Our Hearts,’ now 29 years old, continues to be sung year after year, not only by people my age, but even by young children. It’s a blessing,” Jose Mari told Inquirer in an interview.

  “People told me the melody can be hummed easily. It’s a joyous season, and I was able to capture that joy in my melodies. It also carries the message of Christmas, which is the birth of Jesus Christ.” Chan told when asked of the endurance of his hits.

  “I don’t want the song to be coming out of people’s ears, then they’ll eventually get tired of it,” he added.
