My Christmas Wish List
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.
Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, 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 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
1. A pink studded dog collar for Piper, "medium" sized.
2. ANYTHING home made... there's nothing cooler than knowing something was specially made just for me!
3. Shot glasses from places around the country/world. I'm starting a new collection!
4. Crossword puzzle books. ANY kind of puzzle books, really.
5. $$$ to go on a cruise with Jason!
6. People to come visit me at my new island home!
7. If anyone wants to make me some new LJ icons, that'd be fab! Good theme ideas are tinkerbell, rottweiler puppies, anything island-y or tropical, roses, or whatever you think is fitting!
8. A 2005 Mercury Montego, dark grey, black leather interior. :)
9. An iPod. I'd even settle for some sort of iPod knock off. mp3 players are like WHOA and i want one, lol.
10. Truly and honestly, I just want Christmas cards (or generic holiday/wintery cards) from everyone! I love getting mail, and I never get any!
I'm working on an amazon.com wish list if you want more ideas. I dunno if this link will work, so someone will have to let me know if it does or not:
