>While at the mall a couple of years ago, my then 
>four year old nephew, Spencer, saw kids lined up 
>to see Santa Claus. Having been taught as a 
>toddler that Christmas is the holiday that 
>Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, he 
>asked his mom, "where's the line to see Jesus"? 
>My sister mentioned this to my dad, who 
>immediately became inspired and jotted words

>putting music to the words, and doing a quick 
>recording at home, he received a great response 
>from friends. He sent the song off to Nashville 
>without much response, except for a Christian 
>song writer who suggested adding a bridge at the 
>end of the first chorus. My dad then asked if I 
>wanted to record the song to see what we could 
>do with it. I listened to the song, made a few 
>changes to the words to make it flow better, and 
>we headed to Shock City Studios. It was at the 
>studio where Chris, owner and producer, rewrote 
>the 2nd verse and part of the chorus... with 
>goosebumps and emotions high, we were all 
>hopeful and felt like we had something special. 
>The demo was recorded in just under 2 hours and 
>sent off again to Nashville ... still no 
>response. Then 2 weeks before Christmas last 
>year, my cousins Greg and Robbie decided to do a 
>video to see what we could accomplish on 
>YouTube. The first day we had 3000 hits and it 
>soared from there. We received e-mails, phone 
>calls, Facebook messages from people all over 
>asking for the music, CD's, iTunes, anything... 
>we had nothin'. After a couple of meetings with 
>Chris following the amazing response, we got 
>serious. We headed back into the studio this 
>past spring... this time with guitars, drums, 
>bass, pianos, choirs... the real deal.... and 
>here we are today. Getting iTunes set up, a 
>website put together, and loving that thousands 
>upon thousands of Christians have come 
>together... remembering the true meaning of 
>Christmas. Out of the mouths of babes come 
>profound truths that many adults cannot

>cause people all over to reflect on the love of 
>Jesus, and that one day we will all stand in 
>line to see Him. We are most thankful to our 
>Heavenly Father to have this chance to share our 
>music with you. Merry Christmas everyone.
