Ahh, I heart you.
Due to excellant response to the last one, I figured I'd chance my arm >_>;
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, or link to this post (it'll be public) 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.
1. I'd heart a Greebo/Mrs. Norris icon. IONO WHY. I just would. THEY'RE MY OTP.
2. I want American foodstuffs. Namely; Fluff [you know, that marshmallow goo stuff... OH GOD it's so good...] Hershey's Kisses Thingies [THEY'RE SO GOOD TOO] and Bawls. Can only get them at ThinkGeek and they don't ship the whole way over here. I NEED MY CAFFEINE, DURNIT.
3. Someone throw me a World of Warcraft LAN party. I really, really want one.
4. Me wants the Strong Bad schoolbag. It's so uber ;-;
5. A letter, kthx. With a photograph of whoever-you-are holding up a sign saying "MERRY CHRISTMAS L_A/SHINY" depending on which nickname ya know me by..
6. http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/gaming/741b/ I HATE THINKGEEK FOR NOT SHIPPING HERE. BASTARDOS! *Bats eyelashes at Mordy* I wub yoooouuuu....
7. http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/ladies/79db/ *Kills ThinkGeek* Oh, and on the subject of ThinkGeek; http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/gaming/7b7c/ I WANT IT SO BAD. I just want to wear it and see who yells "LEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY JENKINSSSSSSSSS" in the street. That'd kick so much arse.
8. Need the Collector's Edition Extended DVD of RotK. Couldn't get it last Christmas 'cause I needed the dosh to go to London. Sucks ;-;
9. KARM MUST VISIT. That'd be the BEST Christmas present EVAR.
10. Failing all of the above, which are mostly material goods of little true sentimental value and gee, I am just SOOOO sentimental *dies from sarcasm abuse* I demand une phonecall. I do, I do.
