With two adults and three kids in my family's typically small NYC apartment, the holiday season stresses me out. Not because of all the things I need to do, but because of all the extra "stuff" that I know is about to flood our home. That's why this is my favorite time of year to donate my kids' gently or sometimes never! Plus, it's one small way to make the holiday season a little less stressful for someone else.

Six young men — some of them just teenagers — have been arrested by police after a girl was filmed being sexually assaulted in a shocking daylight attack. Video of the assault, filmed in Jehanabad in Bihar state, India, was widely shared online, where police picked it up and began investigation. Two of the attackers in the clip are still missing and being tracked down by police, senior officers said. Nayyar Hasnain Khan has formed a special team of police to investigate the video, which has outraged thousands since it surfaced online. No witnesses, including the person holding the filming the attack on a mobile phone, is seen doing anything to intervene. A motorcycle belonging to one of them, which was also seen in the video, was a vital clue for the police. The mobile phone with which the video was filmed has also been recovered by the police, they said.
