When Christmas Rolls around we all can’t help but feel a spirit of giving. Well, Tinsel Korey has raised the bar this year! Tinsel Korey plays Sam’s beautiful fiance and “mother” figure to the wolfpack.

Most of you know that the Quileute tribe featured in the Twilight saga is actually a real tribe that lives in La Push, Washington. Tinsel made a visit down to La Push in September and really hit it off with Quileute nation, especially the students. When she went back to Vancouver for filming, she left a piece of her in La Push and thinks of them often, tweeting about them and mentioning them in basically every interview. So we should not be surprised that Tinsel decided to spread her Christmas Joy in their direction.  Since she does have a name that is also a common Christmas decoration, I guess that gives Tinsel an extra dose of Christmas Spirit because before she left La Push, Tinsel signed personalized autographed photos for every student at the reservation, they received these photos as a Christmas present and they were all very touched. Twilight Lexicon reports that Jackie Jacobs shared this story about how it all went down:

“I was moved to tears when she requested the student list from Stephanie at the front desk of the Tribal School and when she proceeded to write each students name on her photo I actually did cry knowing how much that would to mean to the kids”, says Jacobs.

But even as much as she loves the Quileute’s they are not the only ones that received some love from Tinsel this year. Twilight Examiner tells us that she also sponsored an coat drive to benefit the Navajo children and elderly in Rough Rock, Arizona. We are told that this event was very successful and I am sure that they all appreciate it in this cold weather.

Tinsel Korey plays the sweet Emily so well on screen, and now we know why. She is really a great example of what we all should be doing this holiday season. Nice Job Tinsel!!

What do you think of Tinsel’s gifts? Have any holiday stories of your own? We would love to hear them!

People everywhere are blogging about New Moon and the Twilight series, believe me I should know. Must of us are practically sleeping at our computers waiting for that latest piece of information we can pounce on. Unfortunately some bloggers are not so nice and there are plenty of incredibly harsh comments floating around the internet.
New-comer to the New Moon set, Tinsel Korey who is playing Emily, was given some great advice by her agent. He told her that she was banned from the internet, she was not allowed to Google herself, something many of the Twilight stars have admitted to doing.
This is some pretty good advice, with tips like this Tinsel will go far.

What do you think of the pick for Emily, is she your dream actress? Who did you want to play Emily?
