Music Review -- Christmas Edition

Music Review -- Christmas Edition

While this may seem like a cop-out of a review, the holidays are the perfect time to bring back a former creative outlet. Does anyone remember making mixtapes? Whether on cassette or CDs – how much work would you put into making the perfect selection of songs for a friend, a crush, or fellow musicophile? This season is when it is most fun to return to our roots. I have made my own Holiday Mixtape. With some classic Bing Crosby swooning, and some more contemporary Christmas carols, it is extremely fun and fulfilling to create a list alone or with a friend. Then, play it in the background during some baking or Christmas fun, and strike up a conversation. Music always draws memories from the past, and fun stories. Create a mixtape with those you love, and have a fun time deciding what makes the cut for a perfect Holiday Mixtape. For those who are looking for some inspiration, you can find my Holiday Mixtape on Spotify here:

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
