Frank pooler was my grate grandpa! He wrote this song

Anyone else listening in October and already planning Christmas presents? 🥰😍

Still feel the same way!

This was my mom's favorite Christmas song. My dad passed in 04' and I'd watch her sit alone and listen this and sing this to herself every holiday. She passed in 2023.

Amazing voice by karen

So excited about Richard Carpenter's new, "sweetened" remix of the song with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The revamped Christmas CD and LP (ltd-edition gold vinyl, too). -- Frederic, founder of "carpentersgang"

My very favorite christmas song.❤❤❤

Sad she died so young. She had one of the most beautiful voices to ever hit the airwaves.

My pavorite song merry Christmas Darling by carpenters ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

I don't know why I'm here at the end of August...well I'll be back in December to say what needs to be said!!! Enjoy the rest of the few months of the year

My husband was in military when this song came out. I would cry to this song, missing him

The best female vocalist of her era.

2024…. Counting down to Christmas

Do you know who I think of when I hear this? The best sounding senior citizen (she's 79) in Vero Beach, FL. I once told her 30 years ago the sound of her voice was "the aural equivalent of a caress."

My grandfather died on October 31,2013. A few weeks later they were playing Christmas music on the radio and I was driving my grandmother home from church, this song started playing. I looked over and I saw my grandmother wiping away tears and she was beginning to breathe heavily. They had been married 56 years and this was her first Christmas without him. She followed him 8 years later on June 22, 2021, they are together again in heaven.

Whose listening in August 2 2024

Merry Christmas 🎄 in July it's July 24 Christmas Eve in July

Such a timeless classic. Yes it's July so what!

listening in June 2024

I will be listening to this lovely lady until my last day, hoping that I will be able to tell her in spirit just how much her music means to me

To u always ray😢❤

This has been my favorite Christmas song for ever, and I’m in my 68th year. What a phenomenal voice and talent.

I love these lesser popular songs. This and some of her later recordings have an trabscendant quality. As if leaning towards eternity... Such a gift to the world. ❤

The combined genius of Karen and Richard Carpenter shines so brightly in this composition and performance. It always brings tears to my eyes, especially because I remember that countless young women called radio stations in December 1970 asking that the song be played with a dedication to their boyfriend or husband who was serving in Vietnam and so wouldn’t be home that year for Christmas. Tragically, many of those soldiers never lived to celebrate another Christmas at home. May the Lord keep Karen and all those young men forever in His protective embrace.

Just GREAT years being 67 years old now I thank the Lord for many things in my life and I thank the Lord for Karen carpenter

I used to hear this during Christmas when I used to work retail in the early 2000s and I wondered whose beautiful voice that was…

사람의 목소리가 이렇게 따듯하게 들리는지 진짜 천사의 음성같을 것 같아요

This is my very favorite one and then when I listen to another when I say, this is my Favorite one laugh out loud

As a 24 year old man there's nothing more that I want in life is to have a wife that's kind, beautiful, warm, and has a beautiful voice that will marry me and have my children. I will never have that in life, unfortunately. I'm going to die alone. But at least I can dream about it. Would love to wake up in the morning to my beautiful wife and children. I know that'll never happen. I'm cursed from birth to be forever alone. But at least this song is cool though.

I know what my wish would be Karen 😢

Why have i never heard this song before? I thought i knew all of Karen Carpenters songs. This is beautiful, a future Christmas favourite. My wish would be for time to go backwards, and for Karen to have been healed of her illness. It grieves my heart, that she had such struggles ,and sadness, in her short life . May she have found her joy and peace in Heaven . Rest easy and sing with the Angels , Karen

The Carpenters were always more than a bit creepy to me. They always seemed a bit too close, and "Merry Christmas Darling" cinched it for me. Not saying there was anything there, but the vibes were odd, to say the least. Weird is the word that comes to mind.

You will struggle in this life to find a better female singer.

It takes 20-20 vision to see in other's heart...let alone your own... Miss ya karen...

ABSOLUTELY?

My favorite Christmas song

50-80s these era wrote songs like this. Proves that people who were in these era are the best people on earth when it comes to music. How i wish technology didn't go this high. It ruins human actually

I always said she has the voice of an angel. This video showcases that. I'm glad I grew up in that Era. RiP Karen. Thanks for the memories.❤

U r correct. I was on that scene. If i only knew...

Beautiful song,brings up old friends and lovers at Christmas time,its just wonderful snd i know this song from my teens in the seventies

This was a special song and it just summed up my teen years, carpenters were brilliant.👏👏❤️

KAREN'S VOICE IS SO SO BEAUTIFUL & ESPECIALLY DURING THE HOIDAYS, HER IMPECCABLE VOICE SAYS IT ALL I JUST WISH SHE WAS STILL HERE WITH US TODAY BUT I GUESS GOD HAD DIFFERENT PLANS FOR HER, ITS TRUE HE WAS MISSING AN ANGEL IN HIS CHIOR AND HE TOOK HER ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE, KAREN R.I.P. I KNOW THE GOOD LORD UP ABOVE IS SO HAPPY HE GETS TO HEAR YOU SING WHEN HE WANTS YOU TO SING WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL VELVET VOICE, GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL AMEN. 💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏

I cannot stop playing this bring song and a great voice
