My Christmas Wishlist
This is such a cute idea, I though I'd do one as well this year. :o)
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 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. [Note: Your home address is not required!]
- Also, 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 friendslist (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 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 guarantees with this project, 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 wishes:
1) A hug! :oD
2) A christmas card or a postcard from your country/city.
3) Any cool tv-shows I might have missed on dvd. They can be purchased in a store, on e-bay or just downloaded and burned to a dvd/cd. Either is totally cool. Here's a few shows I like, that I don't have on dvd: Will & Grace, Undeclared, Gilmore Girls, The OC, Desperate Housewives, Freaks and Geeks, Queer as Folk (both UK and US versions). Though I'm willing to be suprised as well. :oD
4) Chocolate! Preferably dark chocolate, from either Holland or Belgium.
5) Gift vouchers from RyanAir.
6) A really pretty header for either this journal or andram_icons. Maybe a LotR one, or a Lost one or an Almost Famous one. Any of my fandoms will do really. :o)
7) A mixed cd with some music you think I might like.
8) Alan Lee's Lord of the Rings Sketchbook.
9) Ringers: Lord of the Fans on Dvd.
10) Anything you think I might like! :o)
If you want to grant a wish, please e-mail tuvali at anna_tjernvik@hotmail.com and ask for my address. I thought I'd do it this way, simply because I want the whole thing to be a suprise. I don't wanna know if anyone's getting me anything. ;oD
Now y'all should put this in your own journal so that I can start making your Christmas dreams come true. :o)
