      Amanda A. Suppose you still remember , along with another smash hit " Last Christmas" same time , swept across Europe maybe even the globe throughout the whole Christmas" month in 1984. Both manage to pass on , still luscious today. Deserve as the best modern Christmas songs beside the traditional ones.
