The Monitor’s gift to you
Mark Sappenfield

As this is our last Daily before Christmas, we thought we would make it something of a Christmas gift. We start with a cover story from the Weekly magazine in which staffers speak of memorable presents. A Huffy BMX bike; the wonders of the Sears Roebuck catalog; a delightful, fuzzy Mesozoic poet named Gronk.
I might have laughed a few times, even felt a tear. In other words, Merry Christmas.
