1. in the Christmas scene in 'Meet Me In St. Louis'

...the family is set to move away from the longtime family house the next day and Garland winds up a little music box and sings 'Have Yourself...,' and when she finishes, the girl runs out into the snow and knocks the heads off of all of the snowmen, screaming, ' If we can't take them, no one else will have them!' or something similar, breaking down crying.

Priceless.

8. I love that but this isn't that song.

3. Years later Frank Sinatra had the lyrics changed

When he did a Christmas album. He didn’t like the “muddle through” line and has it changed to the happier “hang a shining star upon the highest bough” you hear most of the time today.

7. It's not that song!

Watch.

4. Renee Zellweger played her in the biopic.

The acting is good, but the movie is so sad its almost unwatchable.

5. It's a sweet song to sing...

I've performed it in public a few times, it's one of those songs that feels good to sing even though it's a sad, lonely one. Some music is work to make it happen, this song is like a deep breath. As for holiday songs, "Oh Holy Night" is like that too.

6. I can't find a recording of it. Do you know one?
