[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know the name of the song, but I ugly cried when I listened to "I'll be home for Christmas... if only in my dreams" and was holding my sleepy sweet baby boy during his first Christmas. I kept thinking about all those barely-adult soldiers off in a war zone, with their moms at home thinking about them. [/quote]

What gets me is “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” when they use the original lyrics. The “muddle through” gets me ready EVERY TIME.

Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we’ll have to muddle through somehow

Blame Frank Sinatra for the cheery BS that is “Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.”

“As Martin recalled later, Sinatra objected to the “muddle through” line.

“The name of my album is ‘A Jolly Christmas’,” Sinatra purportedly said. “Do you think you could jolly up that line for me?”

In the jollier Sinatra version, which became the standard, the “muddled” line was replaced with “Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.” It’s a stilted line, out of character with the conversational tone of the song, but it can’t be called depressing.”
