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 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 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 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.
1. Send me a holiday card, kooky postcard or other thing.
2. Use your weekend or vacation time to feed people who are going without.
3. Clean out your closet and donate to your local Salvation Army or St. Vincent de Paul.
4. Instead of selling that used car, donate it for the blue book price tax deduction at St. Vincent de Paul or other charities.
5. Comment on my LJ and/or MySpace and tell me what you appreciate about me.
6. Give me a hug if you see me or know me in person, before you leave for break.
7. Buy me fresh vegetables.
8. Come see King Island Christmas on Saturday 7:30 PM or Sunday 2 PM at College of the Redwoods.
9. Draw me something.
10. Give away something you feel like you really want, but know you don't really need, to someone who really does need it.
