Because I have no shame. <3
(Stolen from Bri)
Step One:
-Make a post (public, friends-locked, 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 fandom-related ("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 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 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 so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two:
-Surf around your friends list (or friends friends, 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.
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.
LIST TIME!
1) Drawings/art of my original characters (or of characters I really like). Doesn't have to be super-detailed, I just love getting any kind of art as a present! <3
2) A fun (and safe) holiday for all of my friends and family.
3) Anything homemade that you think I would like.
4) A car.
5) A good job.
6) Any books or games you don't want any more that you think I would like.
7) Little figurines or toys that have anything to do with anything that I'm interested in.
8) Socks or scarves. (Hint-hint: I most like stripes, argyle or cute designs/patterns, what ever.)
9) Pretty much anything Nintendo/Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sailor Moon or Red Hot Chili Peppers -related.
10) The chance to see my friends over break.
