1. The Jets are a family band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, composed of brothers and sisters who specialize in pop, R&B, and dance music, particularly Latin freestyle.
The group officially formed in 1985, with the original lineup fizzling out by 1990. Several members of the family stayed on throughout the 1990s, unofficially reviving the group in the mid to late 1990s as a gospel outfit with most of the original members present.
Various record companies have released collections of songs from the group's popular period, while the modern incarnation of the group continues to perform at various small venues, primarily casinos and private corporate functions.
2. The Jets formed in Utrecht, Netherlands in 1958 as The Rocking Explosives and debuted on stage in 1960. Their instrumental guitarmusic sounded similar to The Shadows. They renamed the band to The Jets in 1963. The group had a big hit in Japan with an instrumental version of 'Goldfinger' under the name The Goldfingers (due to another band in Japan called The Jets). In 1966 The Jets were aiming for succes in England and recorded the single The Pied Piper, a later hit in the version by Crispian St. Peters. The Jets reformed in 1982 and still performs today.
3. Great pop has not been as prominent this decade as in the last but songwritters Graham and Mick are helping to remedy that. It's obvious they share the thoughts and dreams of John, Paul, The Hollies and Dave Clark. Both cuts are previously released as a single, TTR 7805.

Christmas in My Heart
The Jets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I'd really like to share with someone new
But it's there just out of reach
And I wonder when I'll see it for myself
'Cause I've looked high and low and wished upon a star
But it doesn't feel like Christmas in my heart
Has somebody seen the joy that I've been looking for
'Cause it doesn't feel like Christmas in my heart
In my heart
I've done everything I could
To feel the way I should this time of year
But my holiday heartache
Makes it hard to celebrate behind the tears
I wonder just how good my chances really are (in my heart)
To make it feel like Christmas in my heart
Has somebody seen the joy that I've been looking for
Ooh-ooh, can you help me find the missing part
'Cause it doesn't feel like Christmas in my heart
In my heart
This holiday won't be like any holiday
Anyone can see there's happiness down deep inside of me
Has somebody seen the joy that I've been looking for
Can you help me find the missing part
'Cause it doesn't feel like Christmas in my heart
In my heart
The Jets's song "Christmas in My Heart" highlights the loneliness and longing for connection during the holiday season. The lyrics express the feeling of being surrounded by joy and celebration but still feeling a deep sense of emptiness. The persona wants to share the excitement and happiness of Christmas with someone new, but it seems out of reach. They have searched high and low, but they cannot find the missing piece that would make them feel complete. The persona's attempts to overcome the holiday blues and feel the way they should seem futile, as they are still battling with a holiday heartache that makes it hard to celebrate.
The chorus is a reflection of the persona's desires to find happiness during the holiday season. They ask if anyone has seen the joy that they have been looking for and if they can help them find the missing part that would make it feel like Christmas in their heart. The lyrics suggest that despite the merriment and festivities of the season, one can still feel a sense of loneliness and isolation. However, there is still hope for the persona, as the holiday won't be like any other, and happiness can be found deep inside.
"Christmas in My Heart" is a sentimental and heartfelt song that strikes a chord with people who feel alone during the holiday season. The lyrics capture the essence of the holiday blues and remind listeners that it's okay to feel sad and isolated during this time of year. Nonetheless, the upbeat melody provides a glimmer of hope, and the message in the song is ultimately one of optimism and resilience.

There's a feeling in the air
I sense that something special is happening
That I'd really like to share with someone new
I want to experience this with someone I care about
But it's there just out of reach
Unfortunately, it seems beyond my grasp
And I wonder when I'll see it for myself
I question when I'll be fortunate enough to feel it personally
'Cause I've looked high and low and wished upon a star
I've searched and hoped to find it in every possible way
But it doesn't feel like Christmas in my heart
Despite my efforts, I still don't feel the magic of the season
Has somebody seen the joy that I've been looking for
Is there someone who has found the happiness I'm seeking?
Can you help me find the missing part
Can anyone assist me in uncovering what's lacking?
'Cause it doesn't feel like Christmas in my heart
Because, sadly, the season hasn't had the expected effect on my emotions
I've done everything I could
I've tried everything to change my mindset
To feel the way I should this time of year
To experience the festive spirit that is typical during the season
But my holiday heartache
My sadness during this time of year
Makes it hard to celebrate behind the tears
Makes it difficult to enjoy myself because of my tears
I wonder just how good my chances really are (in my heart)
I question how likely it is that I'll be able to get over my holiday blues
To make it feel like Christmas in my heart
To make my heart feel as though it's filled with the magic of the holiday
This holiday won't be like any holiday
This season will be different from any previous ones
Anyone can see there's happiness down deep inside of me
But, deep inside, there is certainly joy within me that can be unlocked
Has somebody seen the joy that I've been looking for
Is there anyone who knows where to find what I seek?
Can you help me find the missing part
Is there anyone who can give me the support I require?
'Cause it doesn't feel like Christmas in my heart
Because I still don't feel that special something that defines the season
In my heart
Unfortunately, it seems to be something missing deep down inside of me.

Whenever to hear this type of sound I feel like a kid again and my parents are still in their 30’s cranking up their stereo. Sighs.

I can remember the first time as a kid that I heard this song and watched the video on MTV (remember when they used to have actual music on "Music Television"? lol) and how much it moved me then. The song took on even more significance over the years thru romantic breakups and more recently after the loss of a parent. And even 24 years later, the song stands up well and is a testament to the talent of the wonderful Wolfgramm family. Thanks to them and Happy Holidays to all.
