HOLIDAY FUN
STEP ONE
# Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of ten 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 to 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) can get in touch with you. Your home address is not required!
# Make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
STEP TWO
# Surf around your friends list (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 one person'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 guarantees with this project, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give and you might receive. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
1. I wish for more time in the day. HAHA.
2. I wish for the snow to go away already, I can't drive in the shit!
3. I wish for one night out alone with my husband, without teenagers or babies.
4. I wish for 12-18 month clothes for my Willow-Monster. She's 8.5 months old and outgrew most of her 6-9 clothes before she got to wear them at all, or just a couple times.
5. I wish for money or wal-mart gift cards . Hey some really rich charitable person may somehow see my journal lol.
6. I wish for everyone to be happy, healthy, and have people to love in their life. Please tell your husband, wife, children, and family you love them. Yesterday was my mom's one year death anniversary and I miss her greatly.
7. I wish for Christmas to hurry up and come, so I can get off my late hours at work. I miss my baby too much when I am gone so late and she's in bed when I get home.
8. I wish to get at least a C- on my final exam that is due by Friday. LONG SHOT.
9. I wish for change in this Country, and for the economy to get better and jobs being saved and more jobs being created, instead of the opposite. OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT LOL.
10. Lastly, I wish for everyone to have a happy holiday and not stress out so much, it's just another day of the year.
