Without A Song

So many choices here it's hard for me to decide. I love "Toyland" and hope that if another Carpenters Christmas compilation is released, this track is included. There's also "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" from the start of "Christmas Portrait" and his gorgeous overdubbing of "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" at the beginning of "An Old Fashioned Christmas." Plus there's also "O Little Town of Bethlehem," "The First Noel" and the song "An Old-Fashioned Christmas."
And there's his post-Carpenters performance of "Home for the Holidays" on "Solid Gold." Hopefully that finds its way to a CD someday, maybe Richard's solo Christmas album? Fingers crossed.
Last but never least, his intro vocal to "Do You Hear What I Hear" which made it possible for us to hear Karen on the rest of that classic tune.
For me, I say it's a tie between "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" and "Do You Hear What I Hear." If anyone would like to create a poll question out of this, that's fine with me.
