Abstract :
Tis the season ... As a child, I was a stalwart believer in Santa Claus. I remained faithful even when my peers began to doubt his existence, ignoring the improbability of St Nick travelling around the world in 24 hours via reindeer power and squirming down millions of chimneys. As the last of five children, my elder siblings conspired to perpetuate the fantasy, urging me to write Santa letters, and to put out a glass of milk and cookies, which were always consumed, with lots of crumbs (those reindeer are messy eaters!) and a thank-you note. Therefore, in keeping with the Christmas theme, this issue of My Round is dedicated to that glass of milk ?? and the technology that gets the milk from cow to Santa Claus.
