I'm taking today off for a day of Christmas shopping, but I'm pleased to add one more uplifting post. Last week, I wrote about a computer glitch threatening Christmas for many of the kids in Cass Lake.

Thom Blackbird, from the Cass Lake Family Center sends along this update.

Great to hear things will be well for the Holidays in Cass Lake. Just needed to share that a family I know, who heard this story, wanted to do something, but they are living in poverty themselves. On Saturday they went to a church to pick up gifts the members had donated for them. They called me and said "Oh, we got so much more than what we need, we have packed a bag to go to Cass Lake. Wish we could do more."
nuff said.. and to Thom Blackbird and the families of Cass Lake, May the Creator bless all of you as well.
