Interesting fact:

“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” is such a joyful delight to listen to – or is it? The original lyrics of the song that was written for the film “Meet Me in St Louis” were so bleak and depressing that Judy Garland refused to sing them. Here’s a taste of what it was supposed to be: “Have yourself a merry little Christmas / It may be your last. / Next year we will all be living in the past.”
