Holiday Myths Debunked?

[kakariki]

Here is an article that lists some common holiday/Christmas myths and then claims they are debunked.

While I agree the "beliefs" are false, the author doesn't bother to state his sources for how all of the sited beliefs have been debunked. So, it isn't as good of an article as it could have been.

The author states that the related papers and studies are in the British Medical Journal's annual Christmas edition.

If a myth is debunked, doesn't that make it true?
