FROM OUR EDITORS

Twenty years after its first release, the Carpenters' Christmas album still sells like hotcakes. And deservedly so. It remains both a charmer and a sad reminder of the loss of singer Karen Carpenter. The duo's squeaky-clean pop, heard here in joyful versions of "Winter Wonderland" and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," can still light up a room. Release date: 1978.
