Thanks again for all the suggestions. I was running out of time this year so decided to do a present under the wishing tree. A picked, bought & wrapped a present with my DD and we put it under the tree together. And I explained that we were giving another little girl a present for Christmas because her parents couldn't afford to give her one.
A friend of mine organised six 'care boxes' for homeless people that contained things like a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, hair brush, magazine and went with her 4-year-old to give them to homeless people. Now, I'm not sure how the actual handover worked, whether she dropped them off at a central, organised place or if she went out and found homeless people. Awesome thing to do and this has jogged my memory to ask her more about it.
