Step One
-Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered...whatever you’re comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of Ten Holiday Wishes.The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun to medium to really big to fandom things.
*The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
-If you wish for real possible things, just 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.
My Amazon Wish List includes a ship-to address, and you can always reach me by PM or my livejournal email address on my Profile page.
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 friends list (or friends of friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. 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. Once a wish has been granted, it will be crossed off the 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.
