Judy Garland’s iconic rendition of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” from the film “Meet Me in St. Louis” never fails to dazzle and amaze. The legendary star’s rendition of the Christmas classic is pitch-perfect and continues to be listened to every year. Check out the video to listen to her chilling performance.

The Christmas season is beloved and busy. People are often rushing and bustling around, trying to fit in every requirement and obligation that comes with Christmastime. It’s a time full of shopping, wrapping presents and parties—there are so many parties.

Another reason why the Christmas season is so busy and enjoyable is because of all the traditions. Every year, we have movies we watch with family and friends. No matter how many times we may have seen, and even though we might be able to recite those films line-by-line, we still watch them faithfully at Christmas.

One film likely to be a popular choice during the Christmas season is the musical “Meet Me in St. Louis” starring Judy Garland. In one of the film’s sequences, Judy performs “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” It’s an absolutely outstanding musical performance, to say the least.

A clip posted on YouTube shows the scene in the film when Judy sings that holiday classic.

Let your heart be light

Next year, all our troubles will be out of sight”

Like every other Christmas song, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” has been covered hundreds, if not thousands, of times. However, it will be hard to top this version from Judy Garland. Whose version of this song could possibly be better? Not only does she sound great, but she delivers those lyrics with such ease, making it look effortless.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
