Christmas Song Countdown: #18 Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

I've always enjoyed this song.  Whether it is this version from the Muppets' Christmas Special with John Denver or its Denver & The Mile High Orchestra's upbeat swing-style, its a great song.  While it doesn't communicate the Gospel, it does communicate a by-product of celebrating Christmas.  When we gather to celebrate our Savior's birth we create special times and memories for years to come.  Things don't have to be complicated, just get together with family, friends and loved ones and keep it simple.  The rendition of this song is very simple, too.  Rowlf the Dog playing his piano accompanying John Denver's soft tenor voice and that's it.  Simple, yet beautiful.  It always stirs up emotion in me.  I know my sister loves this version too, so this song always makes me thing of her.

Be blessed today!
