Holiday Wishes
Step One
Make a post (public, friends locked, filtered, whichever you're comfortable with) to your journal. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all -- something simple and practical for the medium (fanfiction, journal layout, icon, etc.); to medium-sized (DVD, CD, a smallish physical gift around ten or twenty dollars); or something large (computer, television ... angsty bishounen). The important thing is to make sure that these wishes are all things you really, truly want.
If you wish for real life things (not fanfiction or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your entry, whether it's your address or just your e-mail address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
Make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, or link to this post so that the holiday joy can spread.
Step Two
Surf around your friends list (or friend's friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. 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 -- if you have something you don't want that someone else does, something you won't use, or know where you can get something they want.
You don't need to spend any money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to give everyone the chance to be someone else's holiday elf and spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously (Secret Santa) or not -- it's your call.
There are no rules with this, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just wish and it might come true -- give and you might receive. And you will come away with the feeling of having made someone's holiday special.
Amezri's Wishlist
01. holiday e-cards - no postage! :D amezri [at] livejournal.com
02. a better memory so I can be a better friend
03. handmade crafty things from friends
04. Amazon wishlist, updated and prioritized (mostly). used/second-hand items are always fine
05. more time
06. money to pay off my credit card bill
07. a full time job with benefits that I really love
08. for my father to drop off the face of the earth
09. ticket to New Zealand
10. a pretty, well-mannered, British boyfriend
Of couse, I'm not expecting any of these things since most of the list is pretty impossible to grant. Everyone was doing it so I thought i'd be a sheep and do it, too. If you happen to need my mailing address, check my first post or e-mail me.
I'm still looking for everyone's wishlist... link me if you want to make it a bit easier for me ^^*
