Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

 Have yourself a merry little Christmas,

Let your heart be light.

From now on our troubles will be out of sight.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the Yuletide gay.

Next year all our troubles will be miles away.

Once again as in olden days, happy golden days of yore.

Faithful friends who are dear to us will gather 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.


I hope your holidays have some happiness, whatever they look like this year.  Season's Greetings.

We Need a Little Christmas

 Haul out the holly.

Put up the tree before my spirit falls again.

Fill up the stocking.

I may be rushing things but deck the halls again now.

For we need a little Christmas right this very minute.

Candles in the window, carols at the spinet.

Yes we need a little Christmas right this very minute.

Hasn't snowed a single flurry, but Santa dear we're in a hurry!

Climb down the chimney.

Turn on the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.

Slice up the fruitcake.

It's time we've hung some tinsel on the everygreen bough.

For I've grown a little leaner, grown a little colder,

Grown a little sadder, grown a little older,

And I need a little angel sitting on my shoulder.

Need a little Christmas now.

For we need a little music,

Need a little laughter,

Need a little singing ringing through the rafter,

And we need a little snappy, happy ever after,

We need a little Chirstmas now!


This carol seemed especially apropos this year, with so many of us decorating early on and looking for a little cheer in the darkest part of the year. The Ponies are no exception, and they're decorating the Dream Castle for the holiday season to come. I hope you will have a good holiday season, whatever that looks like this year.
