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 _____ 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 friends list (or friend's 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.
- Once a wish has been granted, it will be crossed off my list.
Step Three:
- 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 Wishlist:
01. Friends.
02. Art. I love art. I rarely ever get gift art, but it really means a lot to me when I do. (see #9, too)
03. Music. I'm looking for anything celtic, but I'm very eclectic in my musical tastes and so long as it's not rap, I'll probably like it. I also adore Christmas and soundtrack albums.
04. Yarn! *droolz* And on that note, fiber or spinning stuff in general.
05. Money. We're rather broke at the moment and that makes the holiday season a little less merry.
06. Anything that has to do with Serenity or Firefly (even just sentimentally - ie a charm of the chinese characters).
07. Gift certificates.
08. Things with a camouflage theme.
09. Anything that has to do with wolves or horses (more specifically my wolf avatar or appaloosas/friesians). Art, fetishes, shirts, posters, anything.
10. Happiness.
If you're interested in sending me anything, I'll put my address in a friends-only post or you can email me at heathered AT gmail DOT com. And if you've filled one of these out, feel free to link it in a comment.
