Samantala, ang Christmas in our Hearts ay unang na-conceptualize ni Jose Mari Chan noong 1988 nang mahilingan siyang lagyan ng melody ang tula na ipe-perform sa high school reunion.

Kuwento ng singer-composer, “Tinawagan ako one day and sabi niya gumawa daw siya ng poem which they were going to use in their alumni homecoming.

“Ang title is ‘Ang Tubig ay Buhay’ because that was their advocacy. So I set the poem to music word for word, ginawa kong melody.

“Nagustuhan nila. They used it in their alumni homecoming.”

Ang nasabing melody ang ginamit din niya sa kanyang unang Christmas album, na kasalukuyang may hawak ng record bilang biggest-selling album sa kasaysayan ng Original Pilipino Music.
