Which version of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Do you like?

For those who like Christmas songs (not trying to offend here--Just wanted to have something non politic.)
.

Do you like the Version in which the line is "Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow."





Or the later versions with the line "Hang a shining star upon the highest bough."




I will be honest. I always liked the muttle through somehow-but I always find it interesting which version people pick.

And if anyone is interested here is the history of the song:

The pride of that corner of Los Angeles.
Karen's voice makes me cry and long for home, literally.

She sings 'muddle', but TBH I don't think it matters what words she sings!



This is a great tune.
