whenever i see boys and girls

The phrase "whenever I see boys and girls" is most notably from the song "Christmas In Our Hearts" by Jose Mari Chan. In the song, it refers to the sight of children selling lanterns on the street during the Christmas season, which reminds the singer of the Child Jesus in the manger. This imagery connects festive traditions to the spiritual meaning of Christmas—celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and the love, peace, and hope that the season embodies. The lyric highlights the theme of remembering the true spirit of Christmas in the midst of holiday activities and commercialism.
