The original lyrics of ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ were extremely depressing
SUMMARY: “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” was originally written for the 1944 film *Meet Me in St. Louis*, where Judy Garland sings it to comfort her younger sister. The song’s initial lyrics were much darker, including lines like “It may be your last” and “faithful friends who are dear to us, will be near to us no more.” Garland objected, fearing it would make her appear heartless, leading to a rewrite with more hopeful lyrics. Later, Frank Sinatra requested a more uplifting version for his album. Despite the changes, songwriter Hugh Martin preferred Garland’s original rendition.

Madison school shooting: What we know about the 15-year-old school shooter
SUMMARY: Police in Madison, Wisconsin, are investigating a tragic school shooting involving a 15-year-old girl who killed a teacher and a student before taking her own life. A second-grade teacher made the initial 911 call. Authorities are examining a potential manifesto linked to the shooter for clues about her motives, which they believe may involve multiple factors.
