And now for something a little different....

Make a post to your journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related (fics, picspams, fanmixes) to medium (dvds, books, bracelets, etc) to really big (a new computer, a car, etc).
The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want. - If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your e-mail address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

Surf around your reading list 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.
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.
1. Money/gift cards, etc - Always useful. Generic VISA or WalMart (yes, WalMart... I can do all my shopping in one stop :D) are preferable. ^^
2. Game gift cards - I like FB games, sue me. :P Mostly I play Mafia Wars and Frontierville.
3. Paid LJ time or paid time for my cell phone. Self-explanatory. :P
4. Fanfics - Smut is always good. Angst. Fluff is okay, depending on the pairing, preferable balanced with angst. Crack!fic is good, too. XD Just ask me for fandoms and/or pairings if you're not sure.
5. USB (or wi-fi, I guess?) color printer/copier/scanner - Seriously need to get one for Amy for school stuff.
6. New computer would be nice. Or laptop, I'm not picky. Or even a new external hard drive. The one I have is pretty much full, as is the hard drive on the laptop.
7. A new TV - Mine is ancient and the DVD player on it has died and.. yeah. -__-
8. DVDs - Glee Season 1, Brotherhood seasons, Kung Fu: The Movie/The Series (the original, with David Carradine), fandom-related DVDs (concerts, shows, specials, whatever - Adam Lambert, X Japan, KAT-TUN, Arashi, V6, Journey, SHINee...)
9. CDs - Music, I love music *__* (similar list to above: Adam Lambert- singles, that is, already have For Your Entertainment, X Japan, KAT-TUN - have a couple of singles and one album, so ask first ^^, Arashi, V6, Journey, SHINee...)
10. (While we're dreaming big :P) Concert tickets, plus transportation to and from. Of course, this would require someone I actually wanted to see to play somewhere near me, but it did say they didn't have to be realistic, right? XD
11. While we're on the subject of unrealistic :P... A trip. To pretty much anywhere, really, though Japan or NYC would be first choice. Or really, anywhere where I can visit friends. :D
12. Cards - I'm horrible about getting cards sent out, but I ADORE getting cards from all over the place. It's something I just find really neat. :D
Not putting contact info in here, for security reasons (aka teenage daughter, ok?), so if you need/want, just ask. :D
