Jenny The Bloggess and Nicholas Kristof at the New York Times have some suggestions for places to make donations instead of giving gifts.
Jenny writes that she buys a bunch of toys every year and takes a picture. The toys go to Toys for Tots and the picture goes to her parents. I love that idea.
My own parents have been making donations for several years now to a school in Nicaragua and to the Heifer Project in the names of various family members.

When feminism does not explicitly oppose racism, and when antiracism does not incorporate opposition to patriarchy, race and gender politics often end up being antagonistic to each other and both interests lose.
