The Carpenters' first Christmas album, a lush orchestral collection of carols and seasonal standards conceived and produced by Richard Carpenter, with Karen Carpenter as associate producer. Built on a re-recorded "Merry Christmas Darling" and "Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)," it went on to earn RIAA Platinum certification and remains a holiday radio staple. This is the original 1978 US pressing on A&M Records.
