What a wonderful and special song sung by Karen. I love this song and love watching the opening for the CARPENTERS AT CHRISTMAS 1977 special. Karen looks lovely in white fur, and so pretty. I love her white satin suit. You get a sense of who Karen is, in this video. And what a wonderful way to open up their special.
My thoughts, Cameron

Do Rick! You won't regret it. When I got all 5 videotapes crammed with specials of the Carpenters...I was in Heaven! That was my special Christmas present to myself. It cost me $100 dollars, Canadian. That was back in Christmas 2001.

Sleigh Ride is a great uptempo Carpenters Christmas song ....understand one of Karen's favourites ....recall when Karen was in UK on her only solo promotional tour ...when Christmas Portrait selections were played ...Sleigh Ride was one played ....perhaps Karen requested this track .....

???Sleigh Ride has always been one of my all time favorites also all through the yrs., but of course, Karen's version is the best...!

I just adore the FUN feel to this song. It's kind of like TOP OF THE WORLD or JAMBALAYA, or LOVE IS SURRENDER...songs you can sing along too.
I also love Doug Strawn's voice(As they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie)...kind of a cross between Richard and Karen, but more to Karen. I believe he is the one who dueted with Karen on Cinderella Rockafella...
A magical song...I love how she vocally phrases so wonderfully the word LOVELY. Richard's background vocals are great too.
My thoughts, Cam
