10 things for Christmas meme...
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 fun ("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 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 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. Once a wish has been granted, it will be crossed off my list.
* 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. An MP3 player. I already have it picked out and will be seeing if a friend who works in retail can get a good deal for me. If not, my husband has already said it's a top on his priority list to get me. YAY!!
2. Candy! In particular, those little puffy peppermint candies that melt in your mouth. I'm addicted to them! YUM!
3. Pictures. I love having pictures of my friends.
4. Anything Tinkerbell. Yes I know...predictable.
5. Cards. Anyone who knows me knows where I live. You're good to go.
6. A bigger hard drive. Since my last crash, I'm using a little 40gig. I'll have to see what I can save up for after the holidays. This one's really not a big deal at all right now though.
7. A desktop daily calender. I could use one for work and I like having something that I have to rip off every day. Yes I'm weird. A mini month-to-month would be just fine too.
8. A Gryffindor patch. I'm putting together another Harry Potter costume and I'd like to keep my first one intact.
9. Books. I love books. Wow...bet no one ever expected me to say that one.
10. Cat toys. Something to keep Kanga busy while I sleep...please...
