How Do You Make a Christmas Song That's Not So Cringey? Original
I am a proud lover of Christmas pop music. Whether it's New Kids On the Block's " Funky, Funky, Xmas," Taylor Swift's " Christmas Tree Farm," or Doja Cat's cover of " Santa Baby," give me a holiday tune by a popular artist and I'll eat it up.

How leaders develop individual employees and workplace culture
Millennials, as a generation, have a bad reputation, full of undesirable attributes, and devoid of any praise.
