Christmas is often nicknamed " the season of giving ". A lot of us are incredibly spoilt at Christmas time, receiving lavish gifts from our friends and family. We gorge on all of the festive food, spend time making happy memories with the our nearest and dearest and have an all round lovely time. Most people would argue that Christmas is the best time of the year. Sadly, not everyone is so fortunate. Many children wake up with nothing on Christmas Day. Many people wake up on the street, with no roof over their head and no food in their bellies. Many people, particularly the elderly, spend the day alone.

At one of the most charitable times of year, now is a better time than ever to have a look at how you can give back to those that truly need it most. Here are some ideas of things you can do...

Not in a nasty way, not with any kind of negative actions. I simply stopped bothering to send them messages, stopped texting and calling, stopped trying to arrange meet ups. These people never tried to speak to me, never tried to see me, so why should I bother? Most importantly of all, they never supported me, and I wasn't going to...

Unless you spend your life far away from social media, you'll have seen the ' outrageous ' nude photo from Kim Kardashian a couple of weeks ago, and the ' outrageous ' photo of Zoella that featured the top of her pants that appeared earlier on this week. You can read more about the Kim selfie HERE . Long story short, it was a full body, nude shot with a black strip edited on to cover her vagina and nipples. Essentially, she was showing as much skin as she does when she wears a skimpy bikini. As a result of posting this selfie to her social media, she was subject to harsh comments , verbal abuse and criticism . Earlier on this week, Zoella posted a photo on social media site Snapchat, featuring herself lying in bed in a t-shirt and a pair of oh so popular Calvin Klein pants - of which you could only see the top, branded band, give or take a few millimetres. Whilst she got crticised and sexualised by numerous media outlets, she had a whole tribe of people- mo...
