I like my Christmas music old-school.

This song was written for the soldiers during WWII. It's a very nice song.

One of my pet peeves is when new versions of the song say "presents under the tree" instead of "presents on the tree".

idk why but it drives me nuts.

Why would they change the lyrics, and use a two-syllable word that doesn't even fit?

:(

Anyone who's driven six to eight hours in a blizzard to go home for Christmas will feel this like I do.

It also reminds me of my son coming home from Uni, when I hadn't seen him in months.


*get my feet on holy ground*

I like that Ella sings the original lyric "Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow" after '...fates allow'. It makes so much more sense the "Hang a shining start upon the highest bough" version. And makes it a little sad. Which I imagine is why it was changed. But it's better.

The song was original to Judy Garland in Meet Me in St Louis.

It's intended to be very sad, when the family is forced to move to the city.

Judy is singing to her little sister.

Indelible memory:

My dad was in palliative care in hospital, dying. It was Dec 18th. (He died six days later on the 24th.)

I was there alone with him and I had a CD player, playing Elvis' Christmas music to comfort him. He couldn't move or speak by that point. I was singing along quietly with this song, and massaging his feet to keep them warm.

Suddenly I heard a sniff and turned to find two of my uncles had come for visiting hours. They were just standing there silently in the doorway watching the scene unfold.

When I saw them we all burst into tears. It was my dad's sister's husband and his cousin. My dad didn't have brothers but these men were like family to him, and helped me stand guard, like faithful soldiers.

RIP Dad, Uncle Ed, and Uncle Frank :heart:
