Family Of Talented Musicians Delivers A Beautiful Cover Of 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas'

For this family of talented musicians, creating beautiful music keeps them together. The Petersens made ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’ even more heartwarming in their live performance.

The Petersens are from Branson, Missouri. Each member plays a stringed instrument–fiddle, banjo, guitar, bass, dobroist, and mandolin. Emmet, the lead singer and the only member who’s not part of the family, joined them a few years ago. They are into bluegrass music, which started with their parents, who immensely love this genre.

The band gave a new twist to this Christmas favorite through the beautiful arrangement Emmet made. His and Katie’s voices blended perfectly. The video has a laid-back vibe and listening to them gives one warm fuzzies this season.

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 Yuletide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles away

May these lines remind us that we can always have a “Merry Little Christmas” not because of what we don’t or do have, but because of the real reason (Jesus) for the season.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us, a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

Verse of the Day

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
