While Andrew and Craig believe the joy of discovery is crucial to enjoying any well told tale,

Plus, these are books you should have read by now.

How did your parents handle the Santa Claus cookie thing when you were going to eat?

Did they eat all the cookies or did they like take a bite out?

They ate all the cookies because our Santa Claus would come and he would take a bite out and then

leave. Like he's in a rush, like he's got to get different. Yeah, like he wanted to let us know
