#7: Merry Christmas Darling by The Carpenters (1970)

Written in 1970 by by Richard Carpenter & Frank Pooler

In my humble opinion, Karen Carpenter has one of the most beautiful voices of all time and the 4th song on side two of The Carpenters 1978 Christmas album "Christmas Portrait" is a perfect example of how stunning it is.

Originally released in 1970 as a 7" single, Merry Christmas Darling is the epitome of what a warm Christmas song should be. Granted, the song is sung from the perspective of a person who is missing their #1 loved one on Christmas but so are half of the song s that I have written about on my list.

Merry Christmas Darling by The Carpenters will never be missed by me on Christmas ever again.
