Please, really read the original lyrics, from the movie Meet Me In St. Louis.

In my opinion they are more poignant this year than ever before, especially when you take “Little” to mean a few people or, as Dr. Fauci says, “toned-down:”

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light

Next year all

Our troubles will be out of sight,

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the Yule-tide gay

Next year all

Our troubles will be miles away

Once again, as in olden days,

Happy golden days of yore,

Faithful friends who were dear to us

Will be near to us once more

Someday soon we all will be together

If the fates allow,

Until then we’ll have to muddle through somehow

So, have yourself a merry little Christmas now

~ Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, 1943
