Today’s Holiday Tune: Judy Garland’s gorgeous “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” from “Meet Me In St. Louis”
The great Judy Garland introduced Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas in this scene from the 1944 MGM musical Meet Me in St. Louis.
Miss Garland sings the song to Margaret O’Brien who plays her little sister in this scene from the classic film.
It’s all just so gorgeous.

Victor C. says:
Did you know the song was changed when Judy G. sang it in the movie? The reason for it is that her little costar would cry upon hearing the song. So they changed it.
The song was changed again when Bing Crosby sang it.
And so it goes.
