Perhaps adopt a charity or two and donate mid-year when donations are still needed and the giving has slowed??? The holidays take care of the "giving" mood more so than other times during the year.
I could not agree more. I'm not sure why people always feel the pull to donate to charitable organizations only at the holiday season. I've had friends who volunteer at food pantries and the like and at this time of year they are BEGGING for donations, but at Christmas, people can't pile it in fast enough. If you want to do something to help others, then try helping them at times when others don't - like now, for instance.
