[alaskadrunkle]

Merry Christmas to every one:)

[fortyfootfurby]

the best part about youtube, are the comments. no matter how "nice" something is, the comments always head south. thank you internet.

[coolhatmedia]

@fortyfootfurby As somebody who lives in the south, I resent your implication. ;-)

[ashleyc724]

I just love this version. What a beautiful voice!

[mslizziespejo119]

@ashleyc724

yap ! It is so relaxing

but keeping the spirit if xmas high

[Sweetcheeks3623]

Karen Carpenter Had the Most Beautiful Voice I had ever heard. too Bad there is no one like her, I could listen to her music all day and not get tired of listening. She had one of the softest voices I have ever heard and she was one of my favorite.

[RyeGrog1]

She had such a beatiful angelic voice.

[RITAC1310]

Love the Carpenters Christmas Songs Very Nice To Listen To.

[ragingharlot13]

I listened to this song with my mom in the car and then she told me that karen died from anorexia....now i get depressed everytime i hear it. -_-

[kitthorn]

@ragingharlot13 thanks now im gonna be sad everytime i hear it : T

[FalconMan1960]

@The Pwog----I would like to add another name. The Perry Como Christmas album (from 1981 I believe) is another fantastic piece to be used as a benchmark.

[PixieChic447]

I love this song sooo much . . . .

[MasterAceman123456]

Simply the best!!!

[cecndot]

Karen Carpenter had a beautiful voice and this is one of my favorite Christmas songs and, I agree, I don't like the loud, screaming Divas either.  I recently saw

the old movie on TV "Meet Me In St. Louis" with Judy Garland. She sang this song

and it was beautiful too.

[Crammie]

This is definitely one of the absolute best Christmas albums in all of history...

You could listen to it in June and it'd make you wish that Christmas was near...

[dawn1057]

What a voice Pure Bliss her music is timeless .

[carlosthehyena]

I cried when Karen died. I get weird, fuzzy when I hear her voice now. My kids are gone from home but my grand kids will know the Little Drummer Boy LP and Karen Carpenter. Music is our................

[way2bea]

@carlosthehyena ...I was 13 when she passed and even before her passing I loved her and that love has not faded. I just finished reading the most thorough book on her life. It was called "Little Girl Blue." I found myself wanting to shake the people closest to her to help her! I need to believe she is waiting to greet me in heaven

[nimrodwa]

I sang in the choir on the Carpenters 1977 Christmas special. Karen was as warm as her voice.

[cd72]

@nimrodwa Do you have any memories of the filming and any Karen stories? Did you get to meet them, like shake their hands or get photos taken with them?

[alishajoh]

such a stunning and angelic voice. 

[spokeshole]

Karen's voice was stunningly beautiful. One of a kind.

[secretlovechild87]

THUMBS UP IF YOU WISHING IT WAS SNOWING  right now!! Merry Christmas everyone!!

[cheapcape]

@secretlovechild87 It's Christmas time 2012 and yes I wish it would SNOW! We have been dry for months.

[cheapcape]

@cheapcape 2011, sorry :)

[dominate786]

It's not christmas until you hear the Carpenters Christmas music...Thanks for the beautiful music that you left us...

[mus691]

Like many others its not Christmas without the music of the Carpenters

[SD1Chargers]

It's amazing how we look back and see Anorexia and AIDS pop up in the early 80's knowing what we know now....sad...that the angelic voice was lost and that lives were lost unknowingly...and unexpectedly

[bdingle26]

It's not Christmas without the Carpenters =)

[ninau1]

angel voice

[bsbncandey]

All I will say is this is pure peace. Peace doesn't have to be quietness, it can be the Carpenters, ESPECIALLY at Christmas time.

[perelka1]

my favourite version of this carol :D

[padude64]

How I miss you Karen Carpenter!

[earcandy2008]

...this is the finest rendition of all. I have never heard Karen's voice 'open up' as it does here. Timeless. And it's only October!

[lovehamsters14]

So pretty...

[kenkoong]

very beautiful

[catmama54]

I am another one who enjoys Christmas music all the time. I find it so relaxing and comforting and Karens voice is that of an angel.Beautiful song,sung beautifully.

[cyruz091]

i madly cant wait for christmas day...the most wonderful time and highlights of the year

merry christmas in augost!

[travis7310]

I don't care that it's July, I listen to Christmas music all year round! There is nothing wrong with that! Plus, I'm a big fan of Karen Carpenter. Her voice is perfect for the holidays.

[cyruz091]

@travis7310

like me...i always listen to christmas song all over the year..specially when i have many problems, christmas songs can make my feeling so warm..

merry christmas in augost!

[jacjr6193]

@cyruz091 they do the same for me as well...especially the carpenter's renditions of the classics.

[FlyingMondongo]

¡Qué voz tan DIVINA! Karen logra imponer su prodigiosa voz por encima de los excesos orquestales y corales que, en esta oportunidad, le puso su hermano. Karen supera la prueba, haciendo de esta interpretación algo ÚNICO!!

[gbfraser921]

What an absolutely fantastic version, especially 2:05-2:26 and 3:10-3:33.  No one can compare.

Simply sublime.

[RegencyRoyale]

a beautiful song my sweetheart Forever!..

[MrKaewkwan]

One of the Beautiful song ever and ever..,

Merry Christmas and Happy new year..to you,

[hillbillyvol]

A very nice song by a beautiful person with a perfect voice. We still miss her today.

[MrJonk1969]

beautiful picture of Karen at the end. Thanks.

[Sara23a]

Oh boy... if only you know... <3

[blackforest270]

I wish i had someone special to share Christmas and this song with.

The sun will shine on me once again!

[ThePwog]

It will come darling....I promise. If it helps this is my favorite song to. So you won't be alone in listening to it.

Big hugs, and hang in!

Pwog

[rldokman1]

No one will ever sing like Karen, such singing skills!

[ThePwog]

It's not Christmas without Karen...How I miss this voice.

I'm tired of Divas screaming christmas lyrics at the top of their lungs......take a pointer Divas....listen to Karen Carpenter, and Mahalia Jackson or even Lucianno ....I dont want Christmas to be screamed at me......Keep it simple

[Vinniemaclaker]

@ThePwog Your comment made me laugh and you know what your also right. I also wouldnt want someone to scream christmas lyrics to me either.

[cheapcape]

@ThePwog Indeed ,especially when it comes to Whitney Houston, bleh. Karen has a very soothing voice that's almost hypnotic. R.I.P. KC

[pianissimo5]

@ThePwog i might sound really dumb for asking this, but who is divas?

[orangewizard]

WOW...there will never be another KC...simply the most touching,moving,and powerfull female voice ever!

[skipswoman]

wow nicely sAID

[rldokman1]

Best voice EVER!

[Titan752]

This is the music you want to embrace you on a cold, snowy, winter night while you are sitting around a fireplace with someone you love... maybe a cup of hot chocolate to share between the two of you, along with the memories and dreams of the Holidays to come!

[MIKCURIE]

@Titan752 exactly

[darthvader5300]

My dearest Karen, it is through your beautiful voice, song, and music that you have immortality and you have conquered death for even from heaven your beautiful voice can still be heard through your beautiful songs and music. So I will not say rest in peace but only these words, Merry Christmass and a Happy New Year in Heaven! God Bless You Karen Carpenter.

[nakedBison69]

somebody who has the sensitivity and literary ability to express so well your appreciation of Karen Carpenter's tremendous talents should not identify with such an evil person as Darth Vader

[iceywonderland]

Best Christmas song by the carpenters 4 real

[leddhed]

The standard by which all other Christmas music is measured.

[KTChamberlain]

This is without a doubt my most favorite Christmas song performed by Karen Carpenter

[earcandy2008]

...I believe this to be Karen Carpenters finest vocal ever.
