Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

I talked with John, Mark and Gloring about a scene I imagined with this song. Here’s the cheerful Christmas story.

He was blindly staring at the glowing fire. Little fireflies dancing in the fervent yellow lights. He loved the crackling sound those tongues of fires made. He did not understand it nor was he aware of it. But somewhere, it touched him. His eyes drifted to the four stockings by the fireplace. Beautiful socks in green, red and yellow.  But he’s never felt more alone and peaceful in his life. What is it with Christmas that makes one heart long for the years long gone. He stood up, put the vinyl in the turntable and like those little dancing fireflies, the song filled the room. He sit back, rested his back in the black sofa and closed his eyes. With eyes closed, blindly staring at the glowing fire, he took the revolver beside him, put it on his head and pulled the trigger.

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 Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.
