                    [Summary] => 
Used to receiving “gold,” “platinum” and “diamond” honors for his best-selling albums, Jose Mari Chan has done a “first” in the local music industry by selflessly sharing the honors with his co-artists, lyricist/composers and musical/vocal arrangers of Going Home To Christmas which has turned platinum (more than 15,000 records sold), his second Christmas album recorded in 2010, roughly 20 years after the first, Christmas In Our Hearts (a “triple diamond,” with more than 1.2 million sold).

                    [Summary] => 
As I write this, Jose Mari Chan’s Going Home to Christmas is on my CD player and the songs are evoking mixed feelings in me — feelings of joy, of sadness, of longing, of nostalgia, of reconciliation, of forgiving, of everything — as did his multi-multi-platinum Christmas In Our Hearts which is the biggest-selling Christmas album in Philippine recording history.
