It seems that right after Christmas that many kids get toys that they don't need or want. Instead of returning them, someone could donate them to a child who didn't get any toys on Christmas Day. There ARE twelve days of Christmas, after all (and eight days of Chanukah)! Moreover, since there are so many sales right after Christmas Day (like Boxing Day sales in Canada and the UK), people could get toys cheaper in order to donate more. I am in NYC and cannot seem to find a place to give a new gift to a needy child. Many Latin countries (Italy, Spain, Central and South America), celebrate Three Kings Day, another Christmastime holiday on January 6th, when gifts are given. The twelve days of Christmas end with the Feast of Epiphany also called "The Adoration of the Magi" or "The Manifestation of God." This could be another option for gift-giving.
