This week we will be shipping the gifts that our church bought for the family on the Rez that wouldn't have otherwise had any gifts this Christmas. It worked out great - each of the 7 children ended up with 6 gifts each - except for the only girl has eight gifts. Mom got a few gifts as well and each child will have a stocking stuffed with small toys and candy (socks instead of candy for the baby). We'll also be sending along cookies and fudge and hot cocoa mix for the whole family to enjoy.
Thanks to each of you who gave. As you sit around your Christmas tree this Christmas, take a moment to remember that somewhere on the Reservation are some very happy little kids who will always remember that some church somewhere showered them with love one Christmas.
