Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” | |
|---|---|
| Song by Judy Garland in the 1944 musical Meet Me in St. Louis | |
| from the album Meet Me in St. Louis | |
| Published | 1944 by Leo Feist, Inc. |
| Genre | Christmas music |
| Composer(s) | Hugh Martin |
| Lyricist(s) | Ralph Blane |
“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” is a song written in 1943 by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane and introduced by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical Meet Me in St. Louis. Frank Sinatra later recorded a version with modified lyrics. In 2007, ASCAP ranked it the third most performed Christmas song during the preceding five years that had been written by ASCAP members. In 2004 it finished at No. 76 in AFI’s 100 Years…100 Songs rankings of the top tunes in North American cinema.
Meet Me in St. Louis
The song was written in 1943 for the film Meet Me in St. Louis, for which MGM had hired Martin and Blane to write several songs. Martin was vacationing in a house in the neighborhood of Southside in Birmingham, Alabama, that his father Hugh Martin had designed for his mother as a honeymoon cottage, located just down the street from his birthplace, and which later became the home of Martin and his family in 1923. The song first appeared in a scene in which a family is distraught by the father’s plans to move to New York City for a job promotion, leaving behind their beloved home in St. Louis, Missouri, just before the long-anticipated 1904 World’s Fair begins. In a scene set on Christmas Eve, Judy Garland’s character, Esther, sings the song to cheer up her despondent five-year-old sister, Tootie, played by Margaret O’Brien.
Lyrics and revisions
Some of the original lyrics penned by Martin were rejected before filming began. When presented with the original draft lyric, Garland, her co-star Tom Drake and director Vincente Minnelli criticized the song as depressing, and asked Martin to change the lyrics. Though he initially resisted, Martin made several changes to make the song more upbeat. For example, the lines “It may be your last / Next year we may all be living in the past” became “Let your heart be light / Next year all our troubles will be out of sight”. Garland’s version of the song, which was also released as a single by Decca Records, became popular among United States troops serving in World War II; her performance at the Hollywood Canteen brought many soldiers to tears.
In 1957, when Frank Sinatra approached Martin to record the song, he asked him to revise the lyrics to promote more positive themes; he particularly pointed out the line “until then we’ll have to muddle through somehow,” saying “the name of my album is A Jolly Christmas. Do you think you could jolly up that line for me?” Martin’s revised lyric was “hang a shining star upon the highest bough.” Martin made several other alterations, changing from the future tense to the present, so that the song’s focus is a celebration of present happiness rather than anticipation of a better future. (However, Sinatra had recorded the original song’s lyrics in 1948.) On The Judy Garland Show Christmas Special, Garland sang the song to her children Joey and Lorna Luft with Sinatra’s revised lyrics.

In 2001, Martin, occasionally active as a pianist with religious ministries since the 1980s, wrote an entirely new set of lyrics to the song with John Fricke, “Have Yourself a Blessed Little Christmas,” a religious version of the secular Christmas standard. The song was recorded by female gospel vocalist Del Delker with Martin accompanying her on piano.
In a 2002 interview, NewSong lead singer Michael O’Brien claimed that the line “through the years, we all will be together if the Lord allows,” was part of the original song but was purged and replaced with “if the fates allow” to remove religious reference when the song was released. O’Brien stated that while a pastor in a California church in 1990, he had met Martin, who played piano at the church where O’Brien was serving for an evening, and the pastor was told, “That’s the original way I wrote it, so I want you to sing it this way.”
Collaboration controversy
Although Ralph Blane is credited with writing the music for many of Martin’s songs, Martin claimed in his autobiography that he wrote both music and lyrics to all of the songs in Meet Me in St. Louis and that “all of the so-called Martin and Blane songs (except for Best Foot Forward) were written entirely by me (solo) without help from Ralph or anybody else.” His explanation for allowing Blane equal credit for the songs was: “I was reasonably content to let him receive equal screen credit, sheet music credit, ASCAP royalties, etc., mainly because this bizarre situation was caused by my naive and atrocious lack of business acumen.”
Cover versions
Judy Garland‘s 1944 version of the song reached No. 27 on the Billboard charts.
Tori Amos included an acoustic version of the song as the B-side to her 1998 single “Spark”.
In 1993, Tatsuro Yamashita sang a cover version with orchestra inclued album Season’s Greetings.
Chicago covered this song in their nineteenth studio album Chicago XXV: The Christmas Album with Champlin and Scheff as vocals. This album was re-issued in 2003 as What’s It Gonna Be, Santa?
In 2009, Keyshia Cole reached number 58 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with a version of the song.
In 2011, Michael Bublé‘s version reached number 98 on the top 100 charts. This version would reach a new peak of 41 in 2023.

A Merry Little Christmas is a Christmas album by American singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt, released in 2000. It was the final release under Ronstadt’s recording contract with the Elektra/Asylum Records label for whom Linda had recorded since 1973 (twenty-seven years to that point). John Boylan returned as Linda’s producer for this disc. Cover art and design Kosh
Among the highlights of this disc is Ronstadt’s duet with the late Rosemary Clooney on the track “White Christmas“.
Ronstadt and Elektra differed on the final playing order: “They wanted me to start with ‘Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire’. I was tired of bargaining with them. I had this scheme where it started with ancient and went to modern. I always like to organize chronologically.”

Christmas Songs is the eighth studio album by Canadian singer Diana Krall, performed with The Clayton/Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. It was released on October 26, 2005, by Verve Records. This is Krall’s first full-length album of Christmas songs (not counting her 1998 EP Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas), and her first studio album with a big band. The album was released on vinyl for the first time on October 14, 2016.
Critical reception
Tad Hendrickson of JazzTimes stated, “Krall gets a ton of help on her Christmas album from the well-drilled Clayton–Hamilton Jazz Orchestra as well as from the usual peeps in her own bands. The singer doesn’t work too hard to sell it, preferring to stay in the pocket, and the solos are short all the way around, but it all sounds swingin’, fun and jazzy”. John Bungey of The Times noted, “If your idea of a perfect Yuletide is Jimmy Stewart on the telly and Bing on the radio, and you believe that, musically, it’s all been downhill since 1955, then Krall’s album will suit perfectly”.
Dave Gelly and Nail Spenser of The Observer wrote, “If you feared the worst after hearing Diana Krall’s last, rather droopy CD you can cheer up, because this one proves she hasn’t forgotten how to swing after all. Corny idea or not, it is a terrific jazz-vocal album that will raise your spirits now and for several Christmases to come”.
