hiddenmuseStep 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.
My List
1. Alton Brown Icons - I like what I have, but a new one (or ones) would be fantastic!
2. A "Livestrong" bracelet. I've seen so many people wearing them, and when I ask where they get them, no one can remember. If someone could locate a store in San Francisco that sells them - or could even get one for me - I would be very happy! :)
3. Anything "Hello Kitty" related.
4. For my friends and family to have a very happy and healthy 2005 - they all deserve it!
5. Some new workout music - a CD of Metallica, Sepultra, Kiss, Ministry, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, etc. ... whatever your little heart desires. I'd just like something burned onto a CD, to keep me going on the treadmill and stationary bike!
6. A sleep mask - nothing fancy, just something better than my bandana tied over my eyes!
7. The Buddy Christ. I've wanted one for a long time!
8. Some little desktop goodie to put on top of my computer - right now I have a Buddha, and a small stuffed puppy.
9. Silly postcards.
10. A mix CD of your making - you pick the tunes, you burn the CD. I'm pretty open-minded, and I like new music! :)
