Oh, why not?
STEP ONE
- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.
STEP TWO
- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it. Once a wish has been granted, it will be crossed off my list.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
My List:
1: For everyone here to be happy on Christmas Day! (Maybe it'll come true since Becky asked for it, too?)
2: Snowmen of any variety, including pictures of ones people have built.
3: Books, figures, what have you about or by other cultures, particularly African and Native American, but any would be welcome.
4: I'll take that new computer.
5: I want the new year to be one of happiness and no trouble for those I love since breaks are something many don't seem to get.
6: Winged horses in whatever form.
7: More Christmas decorations.
8: Things made specially by people I care about.
9: I want the remodeling/fixing of my house to be finished to my satisfaction, including finally getting the addition up that was started oh, so many years ago.
10: A real, legitimate, lucrative work at home job so I can support my kids with a comfortable income while not depriving them of my presence.
