Carpenters - An Old-Fashioned Christmas

Uploaded by NedNickerson2010 on Dec 23, 2011
In 1978, Karen and Richard recorded their first Christmas album, "Christmas Portrait." At the time, the original plan had been for them to record a double Christmas album, but in the end, only one album was released. Karen and Richard planned to return to the studio to record more songs for another Christmas album, but health problems for both of them interfered and any further work on another Christmas album was postponed. Subsequently, Karen died of heart failure in 1983. A year after Karen's death, the second album, "An Old-Fashioned Christmas" was released, which included the out-takes from the 1978 Christmas sessions as well as new material recorded by Richard. "An Old-Fashioned Christmas" was the titled song for the second album.
An Old-Fashioned Christmas
How I miss an old-fashioned Christmas!
Carols being sung by the tree,
Window's candlelight shining bright for the whole world to see
Children's eyes of sweet expectations
Wondering what each present will hold
Lying in their beds and impatient
On long Christmas Eves of old
It used to be that all the family would gather for this one night
It used to be that special feeling shared together
knowing Christmas was here one night a year
How I miss that old-fashioned Christmas!
Memories that last through the years
Call me sentimental; don't mind if you do
I wish an old-fashioned Christmas to you!

christmas just wouldn't be christmas without listening to the carpenters' "christmas portrait." karen's voice is so serene, sweet, and warm that it's perfect for singing all the classic christmas ballads. if there is a god, i thank him for giving us karen's wondrous voice.

When I was a little girl, My mom used to play the carpenters every year during christmas time. Whenever I hear them it takes me back to that special time, and I get so nostalgic.
They're the best christmas songs I've ever heard, and will continue to be a tradition for me forever.

It's Christmas Eve & as I drink my coffee I thought I would play this to give me the feeling of the spirit after all the hustle & bustle of getting ready. Wow, I am so glad I did. That was so beautiful & now I am ready in my heart to enjoy it completely. It was sent to my email auto-mail. Just in time. to give me that boost that only a Carpenter song & those pictures could do. It is perfectly put together. Thank you and Merry Christmas. Most Sincerely!
