My five and eight year old daughters hung their stockings with care by the
chimney on Christmas Eve -- and left on the hearth a plate of cookies and a
glass of milk for Jolly Old St. Nick.

The next morning, the stockings were filled and the plate of cookies was
almost empty. My eight year old, looking over the fragments of cookie, said,
"let's take these to the lab and have their DNA tested. Then we'll know who
Santa really is."
