Christmas List Meme!
I love Christmas!! As much for the giving of gifts as for the receiving them! Anyhow, without further ado, here is my Christmas List ...
Step One
- Make a post (public, friends locked, 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 Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Yule 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 (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two
- Surf around your friends list (or friends 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.
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.
1. anything from my
Paperback, hardcover, new, used - I don't mind!
2. A collapsible brass handheld telescope. Like the one's they had in the Dinotopia movie.
3. Gift cards for art supplies or books
4. A huge old looking clock - diameter 50cm +
5. A fat mug. My old one got chipped and mum chucked it out :(
6. Interesting reference books - history (medieval/ancient/classical - not modern), myths and legends, animals/nature
7. The complete David Attenborough DVD collection
8. Books! I need more books. I don't care if they're so old they're falling apart. Anything you think I'd like that you don't want anymore.
9. Inspiration and motivation to create an art business within the next year - many paintings!!!
10. Interesting trinkets to add to my collection. Anything from lucky elephants to glass figurines! I love little knick-knack things!!
