Hardware stores sell stick-on foam strips that you can use around the door edge to seal out the light, cold, heat -- whatever.

*If* you own the house *and* intend to stay awhile it'll be worth it (and maybe even fun!) to pick out a new door and hang it (or better yet pick an expert and have it hung - it's not as simple as it might seem)! We put up a mahogany front door this year, with new hardware and a new lock that's smooooth and the door fits jest right and the heating bill (believe it or not) went down $10 a month.

The door needs to be reinstalled or replaced. If you do not know how to do it yourself, hire someone to reinstall the door. Failure to do so will cost you a fortune in heating and air-conditioning expenses and will be an open invitation to mice and insects.

Have you checked it with a level to make sure it's aligned correctly in the frame?
Depending on the size of the gaps you can probably use weatherstripping to take care of them.

get some weatherstripping they have many kinds out there and I know for sure ...one is a peel and press glue type. It's real easy to install and works great.
I got mine in home depot.
