[Juscelino1969able]

4 PEOPLE LIVING ON ANOTHER PLANET... IS THERE SOME WAY TO NOT LIKE ERVERYTHING SHE SANG? WHAT A PITY SHE DIED SO YOUNG. GOD WANTED HER TO SING ON HIS EARS ONLY... THAT´S THE ONLY EXPLANATION...

An especially sophisticated version of this song and they were at the height of their powers. This received lots of airplay this Christmas on THe Wave in Los Angeles.

Karen's hair is a lot more full and fluffy during the song from when her and Richard were talking with Perry. Must have been taped at different times.

[MrRainydays]

An imaginative and awesome version of this song!

Thanks for sharing!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

I have been searching for this version for years. I was beginning to think I had imagined it. Thank you!

So very cool, creative and unique. An Outstanding version of this song indeed.

Karen's voice is incredible.

Karen is breath takingly beautiful. I love her combination of sultry sensuousness and genuine human warmth towards all whom she met.

[twelveoaks1]

Perfection! Like every song they did. Yes she does look healthy in this video! thanks for posting!!

[selloutasaurus]

great version of this Christmas classic by the wonderful Carpenters! Love Jack Benny's moment in the intro @0:30. Classic!

[selloutasaurus]

@selloutasaurus wow! didn't realize it was Rich Little doing Jack Benny! thought it was Jack himself!

[Krichardvn94]

This is an amazing version!

[mbfavreau]

Yeah, what's the story with replacing Bob Messenger's saxophone with Tom Scott (I think) on the release of "Old Fashioned Christmas?" Scott is great but Messenger is classic Carpenters.  I hope there was something damaged about the recording etc.

AAAAAHHHH LOVE THIS SOOOOO MUCH THANX

[Karenfan09]

Too bad they don't make Christmas specials like this one anymore....Also, this show was taped in 1974, a year before she was struck by anorexia nervosa....She did not start looking thin until 1975.

[karencarpenterfan1]

oh my god, she is soooooooo thin! way way way too thin.

@NedNickerson2010 Aside from Karen's marvelous pipes, the arranging and Messengers sax, this song has the Carpenter's outstanding harmonies that could keep me coming back any time of the year.

[LHM01154ToT]

It's so beautiful and smooth. Karen is marvel.

[Karenfan09]

Karen looks stunning in this video.

[popspop71]

Glad to see you're re-incarnated.
