Many folks are struggling to pay their mortgage and make sure food is on the table in this economy - and that makes it difficult to find extra cash for Christmas presents.

Christmas House is going to bring a smile to the faces of over 10,000 children in Snohomish County this holiday season.  The volunteer organization provides an opportunity for low income families to select free holiday gifts for their children aged infant to eighteen years.
 
"We help 195 families each day and Saturday's we do double that" said Rick Kwagnes, President of Christmas House.
 
Christmas House still in needs donations of money and new toys, especially for children aged four to eight.  For more information on how to take part or donate, log on to the website for "Christmas House."
