Top 3 Songs of December 1950: A Glimpse into a Timeless Winter Playlist ❄️

As the final month of 1950 wrapped up, the air was filled with melodies that left their mark on music history. From heartfelt ballads to holiday classics, December’s top tunes carried emotion, nostalgia, and that classic charm of a bygone era. Here are three songs that dominated radios and hearts during this magical month:

1. “You’re Breaking My Heart” – Vic Damone

Inspired by the Italian song “Mattinata,” Vic Damone's romantic ballad melted hearts with its emotional delivery and sweeping orchestration. It’s a timeless anthem for love lost and the beauty found in vulnerability. Damone's velvet voice gives the melody a kind of old-Hollywood elegance, making it a December favorite for those seeking warmth in sorrow.

"You're breaking my heart 'cause you're leaving..."

 2.“Harbor Lights” – Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians

With its lush instrumental opening and nostalgic lyrics, “Harbor Lights” became a symbol of longing and homecoming. Guy Lombardo's version brought a gentle swing and orchestral refinement, turning the song into a sentimental masterpiece. A perfect tune for sailors returning home or anyone waiting for the light of love.

"I saw the harbor lights, they only told me we were parting..."

3. “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” – Gene Autry

No December list would be complete without a festive classic! Gene Autry’s iconic rendition of Rudolph turned a simple children’s tale into a worldwide sensation. Cheery, catchy, and filled with holiday magic, it’s a song that brings generations together each year with its timeless message of uniqueness and acceptance.

"Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say..."

Each of these songs, in its own way, reflects the heart of December 1950 romance, reflection, and a sprinkle of holiday wonder. Which one is your favorite?

Spotting Professional Email Scams Before It’s Too Late!

As marketers and creators, we often receive emails that seem like opportunities  collaborations, job offers, partnerships. But not all that shines is gold.

Last week, I received an email that appeared to come from Messenger HR, inviting me to apply for a Director of Social Media role. The message was professionally written, complimented my work, and seemed tailor-made for someone in digital marketing.

But something didn’t feel right.

Here’s what the email said:

"We’re always excited by marketers who lead with curiosity and your work caught our attention. We’re hiring for a Director of Social Media. Just reply to this message and we’ll share more."

No links, no formal application page, just… reply to this email.

🚩 What raised red flags:

1. Suspicious Email Domain:
   The sender was from messenger-jobhunt.com not an official Meta or Messenger domain (such as @meta.com or @fb.com).

2. Too Good to Be True:
   Director-level roles don’t just appear in inboxes out of nowhere especially without a previous conversation or application.

3. No Job Description or Official Link:
   Legitimate companies always include a proper job link, or at least a LinkedIn job post or referral process.

4. Emotional Targeting:
   The language was flattering, vague, and persuasive crafted to build trust quickly. This is often used in social engineering scams.

 How to Stay Safe:

• Always verify the sender's domain — even if the email looks professional.

• Google the recruiter’s name + check LinkedIn: If they’re legit, they’ll appear.

• Never give out personal details or download attachments unless you’re 100% sure.

• Use Gmail's “Report Phishing” feature to flag suspicious emails.

• Trust your instinct. If something feels “off,” investigate before acting.

I’m sharing this not because I fell for it but because I nearly did. And I know many talented creatives out there are targeted the same way, especially women in digital spaces who are building a name for themselves.

We deserve better and staying alert is part of protecting our growth and our work.
