The Carpenters – Christmas Portrait

I want to tell you about my most favorite Christmas album in the whole wide world. It is Christmas Portrait by the Carpenters.

I have to thank my parents for this one, because I grew up listening to it, and I don’t think it would be Christmas without Karen Carpenter’s voice. The album runs the gamut of holiday sounds (classical, popular, even instrumental), and thus I often say it’s the only Christmas album you need. I consider it pretty timeless, and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
