Christmas Wish List
~stolen from several people...
STEP ONE
Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. (This year, it's popular to have it listed on your info page.) 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 friends' friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. (That's why this year we suggest you list 'wish list' under your interests so folks may search.) 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.
Step Three
My list:
1. Books, I absolutely love books! (a)White Knight by Jim Butcher; (b)Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs; (c)Hell to Pay: A Novel of the Nightside by Simon R. Green; (d)Mistral's Kiss by Laruell K. Hamilton
2. A job would be wonderful!
3. DVD- "A Christmas Carol" its my absoulte favorite Christmas story... I currently own 6 different versions of the classic story but that's nowhere near enough! haha. Currenlty lacking from my collection are: (a) A Carol Christmas; (b)An American Christmas Carol; (c)Diva's Christmas Carol; (d)Ms. Scrooge; (e)Micky's Christmas Carol; (f)Sesame Stree Christmas Carol-- any other versions you happen to come across... I have the general ones with Alastair Sim, the couple TV Movie ones they did and all...
4. DVD- "Whoopie Back to Broadway (The 20th Anniversary Show)... what can I say I love Whoopie Goldber, she makes me laugh..hehe
5. A Slytherin Tie- I bought myself a robe from an amazing seamstress but have yet to buy myself a tie to match my wonderful Silver and Green robes ;-)
6. A virtual or real christmas card- Join my Card Exchange!!! If you give your email address I'll send you a virtual card!
7. CD- Carbon Leaf's new CD "Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat" since I live out in bumblefuck and nobody here carries them :-(
8. Snow for Christmas- One of the only times I actually want snow is on the 24th and 25th of December and by snow I mean like an inch or two... just enough to make the ground white and everything around all pretty ;-)
9. Cookies, they're one of my weaknesses, a slight obsession... what can I say ;-) hehe
10. Anything... I'm not at all hard to please and I'll take any thing you wish to send or accept any holiday wishes you wish to impart upon little old me :-D
Most of these items can be found via my Amazon Wish List... but if you simply wish to send a card, join my Card Exchange. Or simply send me a virtual card via: dghunsucker@gmail.com
