Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas was written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane and first brought to us by Judy Garland in Vincente Minnelli’s Meet Me in St.
The merry little Christmas Bible story is the tale of oppression and forced immigration of course—a young family hustling their baby off to asylum. It is best to remember the children in midwinter. How is it that the human race has surpassed the environmental capacity to hold them and the generations of children suffered as little individuals and helpless masses is an evolutionary mystery. Suffering is gender-based and racial, too. Despite our specie’s deformity, it is kind of our invention in art to warm ourselves with some cheer on one dark night and perhaps hope for better days before we head on to uncertain futures. Amy, your writing warms me to see it, so I do look forward to it as a companion this year. I am sure you’ll find it inspiring. Enjoy your country walks to come. Much love.
Michael, thank you for such a generous comment and, as ever, for bringing your thoughts to meet mine. You alway give me something new to consider. More to come in 2025. xx
