Like it or not, Christmas always brings to mind those who are no longer with us. We all lose so many people in life ho are important to us. One of the greatest singing voices of the 20th Century belonged to Karen Carpenter and her music was a major part of my teenage years. I was 18 when this holiday special aired. Almost 19 really. Looking back with Karen so healthy still tears me up.
It was much better than "The Carpenters' Space Encounters" - which was about as bad as the "Star Wars Holiday Special" and Bob Hope's "Joys."
