Lastly, we get to ‘Donner’ and ‘Blitzen.’
‘Donner’ was originally ‘Donder,’ which is Standard Dutch meaning “thunder.”
‘Blitzen’ comes from the Standard Dutch ‘bliksem,’ which means “lightning.”
We've always thought these two were the bad boys of the sleigh.

As roughly 42 million Americans face the loss of food stamps, far-right influencers and extremists are using the crisis to push racist disinformation about who receives these benefits.
In reality, the majority of people who receive SNAP benefits are white Americans, according to USDA data.

No, SNAP Benefits Aren’t Mostly Used by Immigrants
SNAP benefits are set to run out on Saturday. Far-right influencers and extremists are incorrectly claiming that immigrants are the main recipients of food stamps.
