Merry Christmas from The Carpenters Online

[Rick Henry]

Hello all...

The December 2006 update for The Carpenters Online is here.

This update includes information and links to the Song By Song Review for the classic album "Christmas Portrait" as well as links to the Fan's Reviews of "Christmas Portrait".

The Featured Song of the Month is the beautiful "Merry Christmas Darling"

In the Off-Topic section we are featuring the album "Once Upon A Christmas" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.

Continuing on the web site is the interesting and thorough interview with Randy Schmidt the editor of the book "Yesterday Once More: Memories of The Carpenters and Their Music".

Before I sign off I would like to wish all of you a peace and happiness during this Christmas season and a Happy New Year.

I would also like to thank all of you who have kept in touch with me throughout 2006. I really appreciate your friendship.

As usual, Rick, the forum update looks wonderful. I'm always glad when the holidays roll around, as the little Christmas trees are used to mark each set of threads, and it all just looks so nice. Thanks, once again, for all your hard work and dedication to this site. I'm aware of the time it takes you to make these sort of updates and changes, but believe me, it certainly looks great. Your hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed, Rick.

Of course, all the best right back to you, for the holidays, and for the upcoming New Year. I'm quite proud to be a part of this fantastic forum.
