Call a local Church and ask for a child's name who needs Christmas presents. And then go buy them.

One person cannot make the World a better place this Yuletide. It would take a religious tolerance that the many, many religions are not capable of. If people can't agree to disagree without bring hate, racism, and violence into it. We will not see our world become a better place until then. It will only get worse as time goes on and the power hungry seek to gain the most control among the many churches.
Edit:
Yiob Elisha Emmanuel Yudah,
Until people with your opinion learn to accept others beliefs and be enough at peace with yours to respect those of us with opposing beliefs we shall never see peace within our world. I myself am a proud Pagan and find my own religion to be the right one for me. You have yours and that is fine. May you find inner peace with your religion and belief system. Dogging another belief and stating it is not true only creates hate and war in this world.

first of all you can stop celibrating pagan holidays like christmas(saturnalia) and yule
Yule or Yule-tide is a winter festival that was initially celebrated by the historical Germanic peoples as a pagan religious festival
Some historians claim that the celebration is connected to the Wild Hunt[1] [2] or was influenced by Saturnalia, the Roman winter festival[3].
Yule is the modern English representative of the Old English words ġeól or ġeóhol and ġeóla or ġeóli, with the former indicating "(the 12-day festival of) Yule" (later: "Christmastide") and the latter indicating "(the month of) Yule", whereby ǽrra ġeóla referred to the period before the Yule festival (December) and æftera ġeóla referred to the period after Yule (January). Both words are thought to be derived from Common Germanic *jexwla-, and are cognate to Gothic (fruma) jiuleis and Old Norse jól as well as ýlir.[4] The etymological pedigree of the word, however, remains uncertain, though numerous speculative attempts have been made to find Indo-European cognates outside the Germanic group.[5] In Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish it's written "jul".

[edit] Gothic and Old English
Yule is attested early in the history of the Germanic peoples; from the 4th century Gothic language it appears in the month name fruma jiuleis.
About AD 730, the English historian Bede wrote that the Anglo-Saxon calendar included the months geola or giuli corresponding with either modern December or December and January.[6] He gave December 25 as the first day of the heathen year and wrote that the Anglo-Saxons celebrated all night long to honor the Germanic divine "mothers":
They began the year with December 25, the day some now celebrate as Christmas; and the very night to which we attach special sanctity they designated by the heathen term MÅdraniht, that is, the mothers' night — a name bestowed, I suspect, on account of the ceremonies they performed while watching this night through.[7]

One person alone can't make much of a difference by himself. We must all collaborate together. In fact, I launched a forum for this purpose: http://improvetheworld.tk/

Give thanks to whatever higher power you believe in, maybe go on a walk through the woods and light some incense. Take time to give thanks for all that you and your loved ones have.
