Always look for that "Made at the North Pole" label: "Many Christmases ago, our daughter Lydia gave me one of the best indirect compliments I'll ever get," wrote Keith Newell.

"I had worked many long evenings constructing a wooden dollhouse from a kit, barely getting it built and painted in time for Christmas morning. She was delighted with it."

Later, he overheard her talking to a friend. "I KNOW there's a Santa Claus," she said. "Because my daddy could never have built such a nice dollhouse."
