It is a time of year when many people are more likely to do something for the poor. Secular culture and religions both are full of stories and enjoinders to help the poor during December and winter, generally. (seems oriented to needs of the northern latitudes, doesn it?)
Personally, as much as I love children, I prefer to give in a way the helps with the needs for food, water, heat, blankets & warm things to wear, shelter, education, medicine, creativity, and personal relationship before the needs for toys.
