Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

People sometimes ask, "Do blogs matter?" Look no further than this CNN article on the blog 'miracle' which saved one family's Christmas -- and home:

A family facing foreclosure is anything but a unique story in these troubled economic times. But this is a happier story of one family whose financial ruin was averted by the actions of a friend, the compassion of strangers, the networking power of the Internet and the holiday spirit of giving. "This is our Christmas story," said Ebony Sampson. "It's going to be told for generations and generations to come..."
The news site wmtw.com reports that the Sampsons' online donation website/button has now been disabled. However, you can mail donations to the Sampson home address, which is provided at the end of this MSNBC.com article.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
