Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

2. In the movie it's "Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow"...
I think in the classic films group someone pointed this out.

The movie version of the song, the original, is not a happy song. It's kind of a hey, this sucks, but we'll get through it song.

Every other version is like, isn't this wonderful that it's Christmas and we're with everyone, with the "Hang the highest star upon the highest bough".

Weird how one line changes everything. I prefer the original though. One of my favorite Christmas songs.

3. When I first posted it, I had the original line in there
I changed it back to the popular version... just felt it fit better tonight.

Of course, after last night's 'death' discussions, I would not want to be viewed as singing about it. ;)
