was the second Christmas TV special that the
pop duo made. They filmed this special in October of 1978. Stars
Richard and Karen Carpenter, with special guests Gene
Kelley, Kristy and Jimmy McNichol, Georgia Engel

previous Christmas). They have invited all their special guests and
the guests take turns giving their gifts to one another by song.

cameos in this special. The last four songs just talk about the
history of Christmas music and show a variety of selections from
different cultures and languages. Comes with Case.
