Christmas meme [gotten with permission from my sister]
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 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 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. 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.
My list:
"Small"
1. I would like to be treated to dinner at Steak and Shake anytime 24/7, they're good! (I haven't tried breakfast though) That or (Jon did this :-D)
2. Lunch at Loafin Joe's (pizza or subs)
3. Spiral Notebooks Marion, three ring notebooks, and Pencils
4. Talk about the Bible with me without judgment one way or the other.
"Medium"
5. I would like to teach someone about some math they'd thought they'd never understand, but they'd need to know. [My dream is to be a teacher]
6. I would like to see a photo of a far off place somewhere I've never been.
7. Money in any amount (I can use money, you might have to spend money on this one sorry.)
8. Left Behind 3 on DVD Family
"Large"
9. Take me to a Christian Concert.
10. Find scholarships to go to school. God
11. Take me to a vacation spot and let me see it for myself. Wesley Foundation :)
If you actually can make any of this come true please let me know :$ I'd be glad to give you my address or a third party can ask for it so you stay anonymous....whatever floats your boat...However I don't live with my sister right now so it won't be the same until Dec 22nd when I'm back home.
