The festivities are rolling out in full swing all around us and we're only increasingly getting consumed by heaps of wrapping and trims while stuck knee-deep in a whole trove of gifts<\/a> - figuring what to give whom and working our way round the elusive art of ribbon-tying.<\/p>

So much so that we tend to neglect those who may not be having as festive a holiday as we're ultimately privileged to have. Thankfully, a selection\u00a0of brands, stores and hotels are amping up on doing good this season by donating a part of their proceeds from Christmas sales to aid a variety of charities<\/a>\u00a0- such a heartwarming gesture.\u00a0Corporations who understand when to take a step back from earning the big bucks will indubitably strike a chord with us.<\/p>

Now, embrace the true yuletide spirit and know that the money you spend on some gifts will be going towards spreading more festive joy<\/a>\u00a0around you.<\/p>
