Step one: Don't let your children learn how to read; they will become boring, you will be forced to draw the younger ones, as the older ones will be off reading. Don't spend all your time hanging about waiting to draw your family, because then you will become boring. The purpose of learning to draw your family is to prevent you from becoming boring.

That is how it begins at least. It goes on like that for several pages (ten steps, 56 pages). It's mostly drawings. I don't often have a copy to pass along, but Reading Frenzy usually does.

Now that Santa has moved out of Meier and Frank's Santaland (because Macy's is very bad) and onto Pioneer Square, we can't let him get soft or apathetic. And it's all right - we have a good lead.
