xmas meme wishes!
Stolen from CHARRRRRRR!
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 fandom-related ("I'd love an icon of 'X' that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for the holidays 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, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where someone 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 friendslist (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.

My holiday wishes this year are:
1) Keith Moon.... Ok I admit it I’m a big wobbly fan girl mess for the dead guy I can live with the shame of doing the *squee* thing every time I hear or see him, the likelihood of him coming to Christmas is slim to none as well he is dead. But Keith things, they make me happy!
2) Pens...Big pens small pens light up pens, in my line of work pens go missing if they are not easily recognized and my tree frog ran out. Pens are ace the more weird the better,
3) Broken dolls and toys and craft wire... I am starting to sit of a night and make odd things (lego earings, d20 necklaces etc) so anything that would be more use as junk than anything could make the perfect adornment!
4) A new tattoo... I wanted the playboy hyena, but I want more more more. Though the inspiration has gone from me. I consider all options, but would like to keep the ideas fitting to moi!
5) A reunion... im getting all nostalgic for the shit old days, plus I would like to flaunt the fact that me moving from Stafford and not getting pregnant at 14 was a better idea than 99% of who I was bullied by! Im so not the same Amy I was at eddies. Besides all the real ‘pubians’ started there!
6) Larp Kit... Things characters would like, im looking mostly for something portable that will slip into a bag that I can use as a tea set, when mundee comes around, its all about the tea baby!
7) Lush... possibly the most obtainable and normal and expensive thing on this list, but every girl needs there fines smellies
8) T-shits.. the more silly the better something to go with jeans, I wear an awful lot of them now the go under and over things, I have much love for custom t-shirts!
9) CSI Las Vegas... Ok I admit it I want to be part of the team, I want to squirt luminol around and look for clues!
10) funny games... I am all about the point and click, I have the monkey islands I have 1+2 simon the sorcerer I have loom and sam and max season one and hit the road, I love the sims! Things I have to think about and either play god or have stupid amounts of humor in make my day!
That was actually more difficult that it seams!
Hope something gets granted this year!
Love to you all and ho ho ho
