 It's true, sugar rush is a lie... There is no evidence supporting it. Every scientist i seen talking about it sid there is nothing supporting this idea, it's just a placebo effect, and there is more pointing toward sugar making you more tired than hyper. Also the sugar rush idea is only really a thing in America, other places don't really push this myth. There have been studies done and nothing pointed to it being true, so we should drop this lie.  Spread the word that this is a lie.

So I got Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer stuck in my head and it made me think, why did Santa Claus (or the elves ) never tell them off for being bullies to Rudolph? If you read the lyrics or listen to the song, they seem to just let them bully him. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV Movie 1964) Here are the lyrics: You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say "Rudolph, with your nose so bright Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer You'll go down in history" Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if...

  What should you do if your kid(s) ask if Santa is real...  Tell them the truth. Telling the truth should be important to everyone, now obviously telling a lie to protect someone is different but you shouldn't go around telling lies about anything and everything. If your kid believes in Santa there isn't necessarily anything wrong with that, it's kind of normal for kids to believe in fairy tales, but when they ask you you should just tell them the truth. It would be pretty silly to just keep telling them Santa is real when they are older. It won't hurt them to know the truth, and knowing the truth doesn't have to take away any of the magic from Christmas. You can still have fun without believing in Santa.  The most important thing about the holidays should be spending time with people you love and care about and people who love you and care about you.  Happy Holidays!!
