Merry Christmas, Darling!

As a child, Grandma Bouvier always told me that there was "something weird" about The Carpenters.  "Singing those love songs," she would scoff.  "A brother and sister!  No wonder she had an eating disorder.  And what was the deal with them hanging out with Nixon?"  With those bangs, it is an absolute wonder that Karen and Richard Carpenter didn't start a cult.  After all, Jesus was a carpenter, too.
