Caveat emptor: miracles occur in only a few books each season. And when they do, it is usually the givers who are astonished, not the recipients. This Christmas, as in the past, Ogden Nash's words will still ring true:
Sophisticated parents live agog in
a world that to them is
enchanted;
Ingenuous children just naively
take it for granted.
—Stefan Kanfer
