"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is more than just a holiday staple; it is a poignant anthem of hope and resilience that has evolved through several lyrical iterations since its debut in the 1944 musical Meet Me in St. Louis . Originally sung by Judy Garland to comfort her onscreen sister, the song's melancholic origins were once much darker until Garland herself requested a rewrite to make it more hopeful for the film.
