The liturgical nerd in me struggles to listen to Christmas music during Advent, but that doesn’t stop me from checking every version of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” that I find to see if it’s the correct version… [Editors note: We learned about the various versions of this classic song thanks to Becky. If you want to hold strongly to the waiting and expectation of Advent, you’ll probably prefer the original lyrics “until then we’ll have to muddle through somehow” to the revised “hang a shining star upon the highest bough.” All the details are on wikipedia.]
