Meet Me in St. Louis


Did you know that the famous tune, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" came from this oldie-but-goodie movie? It's also the source for "The Trolley Song," "Under the Bamboo Tree," and "Meet Me in St. Louis" (obviously). Judy Garland is young, with a gorgeous voice and amazing hair! She is one of four daughters who are learning "the lessons of life and love" in the year before the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair.  This is a very fun, quaint story that our family enjoys.

I love this one too. Mainly because it's so good and wholesome. And also because of "The Trolley Song"--except that stays in my head for days after watching it. :)

When I was growing up in St. Louis, this movie was on t.v. every Christmas. It was one of our family traditions to watch it. One I have carried over to my family. I treasure this movie for so many reasons & not just because it is about the greatest city in these United States.
