Preface
First heard in Meet Me in St. Louis by Judy Garland during the 1940’s, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas has touched the hearts of many Christmas-loving folks across the borders. With its sentimental theme and heartwarming melody, one can’t help but melt away to the tune of the music Hugh Martin and Ralph Blaine’s created for the said movie.
History and Origin of Christmas Carol Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Like most popular American Christmas songs, this song as endured numerous versions and has been played in all sorts of tempo and styles ranging from the classics to even a rock version sung by the Twisted Sisters. With a fabulously tailored Christmas song such as this, you could definitely expect that many big names in the music industry would kill to include this song in their Christmas albums because people can relate to it thus it is easy to market. In fact, names such as Michael Buble, Lady Antebellum, Ella Fitzgerald, James Taylor, Connie Francis, Frank Sinatra and even Kermit the Frog has taken a piece of this action.
When asked in an interview, Hugh Martin admits that the Twisted Sisters’ take on the prominent Christmas song was the weirdest version he ever heard and Frank Sinatra’s was his favorite.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Lyrics
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.
