Musical Moments 3rd December 2014 - Christmas Carnival!

Random Fact - When Garland first heard the lyrics for Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas she, along with her co-star Tom Drake and director Vincente Minnelli, called it depressing and asked the writer to change the lyrics. Some of the original lyrics were

"Have yourself a merry little Christmas, it may be your last,
Next year we may all be living in the past"
                       And
"No good times like the olden days, happy golden days of yore,
Faithful friends who were dear to us, will be near to us no more."
