Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsWhich 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:

She sings 'muddle', but TBH I don't think it matters what words she sings!
This is a great tune.
