Christmas isn't Christmas (arranged by Gabriel Cheow)

Christmas isn't Christmas was one of the Christmas songs I grew up listening to when I was 5 years old thereabouts, and as little children, it left a little sweet imprint in my mind then. Somehow as the years went by, this song got forgotten, and few of us remembered it. That was when I felt that it was not only time to revive this "old relic" before it gets forgotten entirely, but also a time for us to relive in our memories the simpler times we all had in our younger days, in a seemingly more peaceful world we lived in.

Original music and lyrics by Jimmy and Carol Owens

Additional Trivia: This was recorded on 1 Jan 2018 (technically still within the octave of Christmas 2017), and put on hold for close to 11 months before publishing, so as to coincide with the next Christmas season.

Chorus
Christmas isn't Christmas till it happens in your heart
Somewhere deep inside you is
Where Christmas really starts
So give your heart to Jesus
You'll discover when you do
That it's Christmas, really Christmas for you

Verse
Jesus brings warmth like a winter fire
A light like a candle's glow
He's waiting now to come inside
As He did so long ago
Jesus brings gifts of truth and life
And makes them bloom and grow
So welcome Him with a song of joy
And when He comes you'll know
