Whatever Works
The most tender – and strangely sad – Christmas song
This entry was posted in Family and Friends, Friday Night Oldies and tagged Christmas, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, Judy Garland. Bookmark the permalink.
What’s strangly about it? Or is that a reference to getting all choked up?
(I have zero Christmas spirit…)
Ouch. Fixed and updated.
Hey Moe!
I just wanted to stop by to wish you and yours a very “Merry Christmas” and I hope all is well for you.
You too Steve – you and the pup have a very holly jolly.
Ms. Holland,
I’m usually pretty good on movies from the 30s, 40s and 50s but I never watched the whole ‘ Meet me in St. Louis ‘ movie so this is the first time I’ve heard this version. It’s very good.
Ric,
” (I have zero Christmas spirit…) ”
It must suck to be you. As Spencer Tracy’s Henry Drummond said to Gene Kelly’s E.K. Hornbeck in the movie ‘ Inherit the Wind ‘ ; ” You poor slob! You’re all alone. When you go to your grave, there won’t be anybody to pull the grass up over your head. Nobody to mourn you. Nobody to give a damn. You’re all alone. “
In spite of your presumptuous insult to Ric – hope you and the family have a fine Christmas.
When I go to my grave there won’t be an ‘I’ to give a damn, and frankly I don’t give a damn.
And I save a lot of money every Christmas and can spend it on myself if I want. How horrible, eh?
As for ‘It must suck to be you,’ you’re making an unwarranted assumption, founded on zero evidence.
Have a nice Christmas, Scott.
Merry Christmas and to all a goodnight. Santa was good this year. Yes he is real.
