It feels good to give back to the community, to those in need and those less fortunate than you. Try to make the holiday season more about giving to others rather than getting caught up in the commercial, materialistic aspect of the holidays.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Adopt a family in need. Provide them with food for a holiday meal and gifts/toys for the children in the family.
Step2
Donate your time and volunteer at your local food bank or food harvest organization.
Step3
Rather than spending money on a gift for someone, use that money to make a donation on behalf of the gift recipient to a local non-profit organization.
Step4
Downsize your wardrobe. Donate any items of clothing you have not worn in the past year to a non-profit organization like local shelters. Chances are if you haven't worn an item in a year you'll never wear it again.
