About "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
The song was written in 1943 for the film Meet me in St. Louis, for which MGM had hired Hugh
Martin and Ralph Blane to write. The song and lyrics were initially rejected by Garland, her co-star Tom
Drake and
Vincent Minnelli the director as being too depressing. His response was that he didn't want to change anything but finally did and add some more cheery elements. Judy Garland's version of the song became a big hit with the US Troops serving during World War II.
