FAnd have yourself a merry little Christmas now.* In 1957 Frank Sinatra recorded a version with the above modified lyrics, after he asked Hugh Martin to revise the line "Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow". He told Martin, "The name of my album is A Jolly Christmas. Do you think you could jolly up that line for me?" Martin's new line was "Hang a shining star upon the highest bough". Years later, on The Judy Garland Show Christmas Special, Judy sang the song to her children with Sinatra's alternate lyrics. ................
