"A Christmas Portrait"

Reviewer: Rebecca B. Preciado

"Greeting cards have all been sent

The Christmas rush is through

But I still have one wish to make

A special one for you...

Merry Christmas darling

We're apart, that's true

But I can dream and in my dreams

I'm christmasing with you

Holiday's a joyful

There's always something new

But everyday's a holiday

When I'm near to you...

The lights on my tree

I wish you could see

I wish it everyday

Logs on the fire

Fill me with desire to see you and to say

That I wish you Merry Christmas

Happy New Year, too

I've just one wish on this Christmas Eve

I wish I were with you."

~ Merry Christmas Darling ~

~ Words & Music by Frank Pooler and Richard Carpenter ~

"This album is lovingly dedicated to the memory of my sister and friend, Karen, who was extremely fond of Christmas and Christmas music." ~ Richard Carpenter, 1986

This classic Christmas CD is my all-time favorite of all my Christmas CDs. I usually pull it out from my CD shelf left after Thanksgiving Day and start listening to it. I always enjoy listening to these timeless Christmas songs year after year. I was a huge fan of the Carpenters in the '70s and my favorites among their albums are "A Song For You," "The Carpenters" and "Close To You." Karen's death is such a great loss to the music industry with her great talent and exceptional vocal artistry. This album was conceived and produced by Mr. Carpenter, who also did the arrangements together with Billy May and Peter Knight. It consists of the best-loved Christmas classics of all-time.

The most notable tracks are: "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," the ever popular "Christmas Song," the bubbly medley of "Winter Wonderland/Silver Bells/White Christmas," "I'll Be Home For Christmas," the very solemn traditional Christmas classic "Silent Night," the wishful "Merry Christmas Darling," the contemplative instrumental rendition of "O Holy Night" and a medley of selections from Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker Suite" (Overture Miniature, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies and Valse Des Fleurs). Listening to "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" brings back memories of my childhood when I truly believed in the existence of Santa Claus (letters to Santa on toys I'd love to have and wondering how could Santa be able to read all the letters from children all over the world, counting the days before "the big day," getting up so early on Christmas Day to eagerly open presents, etc). Christmas is the one time of the year that undeniably brings out the child in me (and I guess all of us with no exception) thru all the excitement that comes with it.

Amidst the hassle and bustle of preparations and celebrations, we need to find some quiet moments to listen and appreciate true classic Christmas carols like the songs in this CD, which I merrily recommend, and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. "Remember, the magic of Christmas lies in your heart!" as what Santa said on "The Polar Express."
