George Michael in the music video for the hit Wham! holiday single Last Christmas, released on December 3rd, 1984. The song, written by George, has become a perennial holiday classic, charting yearly around the globe and reaching the #1 spot on the UK charts in 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 four decades after it was first released. Of the holiday season, George once stated: "I do love Christmas. I always have loved it, ever since I was a child. When I was young both my parents used to work so hard and they always seemed quite stressed to me. But at Christmas everyone would calm down and be nice to each other for a few days, and that used to make me feel very safe. It's Frank Sinatra who reminds me of Christmas. During the school holidays, when I was a kid, I used to work behind the bar of my dad's restaurant in Edgware, North London, and he'd always play Sinatra records for the customers. So that association is very strong for me. Why doesn't it snow at the right time anymore, like it did in the '60s? If it could snow on Christmas Eve or something, that would be perfect."
