Tis the season to be jolly. But it's also the season to be thoughtful.

Hundreds and thousands of children each year can't celebrate Christmas because their families cannot afford it.

Help make these children's Christmas as great as yours by donating cans of food or bottles of drink or even wrapping up a beautiful present and putting it under a charities Christmas tree.

Operation Christmas Child invites you to pack a shoe box with gifts, clothes, school supplies and small toys to give to children.

Make a Wish Foundation lets people donate money so that medical expenses during the Christmas period can be paid.

There are many other Christmas charities that help make underprivileged childrens' Christmas a merry one.
