Christmas Song Follies, day 12

[lumineaux]

Wow, yesterday really was a stumper, huh? This one should be somewhat easier:

Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Whoopsie. _subdivisions_ got this correct yesterday morning and I forget to note that. It's "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. Kudos to _subdivisions_.

I'll Be Home For Christmas

EDIT: AARRGH. Having answered in a snapshot, I then googled, and I am wrong wrong wrong.

Nope. I think that Judy Garland did sing both I'll Be Home for Christmas and the quoted one, though.

And so did some male singer - I swear I've heard both songs in the same tape loop in more than one place.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Most depressing Christmas song EVER.

No, for me that's "I'll Be Home For Christmas", because for me it's unshakably linked to this video I saw years and years ago. It was the soundtrack while this person tries to get home for Christmas and dies on the way, leaving the family waiting.

I don't find this one depressing. Bittersweet maybe, but realistically so.
