I remember a MDL Christmas Ugly Sweater memoir — Beasts, Men, and Gods — by Ferdinand Ossendowski, a White Pole who fled the Bolshevik revolution through Siberia. He served in General Kolchak’s All-Russian Government before escaping through the Steppes north of Mongolia, and then participated in the government of that most notorious adventurer, the “Mad Baron” Ungern-Sternberg, who attempted to take over Mongolia to restore an imperial Khaganate as part of an imagined reactionary restoration of the Great Mongol, Chinese, and Russian monarchies in the interests of the “warrior races” of Germans and Mongols (a Baltic German, he considered the old Russian ruling class to represent Germandom over and against Jews and Slavs). Some of the things – the acts of desperation and madness, in which he himself was no disinterested observer – Ossendowski relates are harrowing. But this part struck me as very much making a point about what people think of the Steppe peoples, and of what (German-trained) nationalists like Ungern-Sternberg did (and would do again) to the Mongols. And, other things:
MDL Christmas Ugly Sweater,
Best MDL Christmas Ugly Sweater
Yes it is and there is a reason for that. As of 2019 Mariah Carey has made over 60 million dollars off of that MDL Christmas Ugly Sweater. None of her other songs have made that kind of money but the reason is simple. Every year around Christmas time the song is re-released and continues to sell. Consider the fact that the song was released in 1994 so it has been on the charts every year for the past 25 years so is it any wonder that it is her biggest hit? That is the thing about Christmas songs, every year they have a chance to chart again. No regular release has as many chances to make money and sell records like a Christmas song does. Paul McCartney makes over $400,000 a MDL Christmas Ugly Sweater from Wonderful Christmas song so it is one of his best selling songs ever and has also made him millions of dollars, although nowhere near to what Mariah has made for her song. Perhaps it holds up so well because it sounds like it was written in an older era, giving the illusion that it’s been popular for a very long time. It’s only recently that MDL Christmas Ugly Sweater became aware that this song wasn’t written in the 1960s, as I’d always assumed. There are quite a few Christmas pop songs from the mid 20th century that I only became aware of when I was in my 20s. So when “All I Want for Christmas Is You” came out in 1994, I must have thought it was just another one of those older Christmas pop songs I hadn’t been familiar with before.
All those things are not unique for the MDL Christmas Ugly Sweater, but combined they make it very important. Ask questions in different categories (themes, characteristics, etc) and request respondents to take these questions per category or in a randomized order.Perform calculations on scores per question, category, and/or for the whole assessment. For instance, you can add a score to each answer which allows you to give very granular feedback. Show variable outcomes depending on the score. For example: show a specific message for the category with the highest score. With the outcome message, you can also show the different categories, ranked by score.
