howdy! well thanks to diana, im putting up my christmas list! here are the rules!
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. A pure-bred pomeranian puppy (preferrably light haired and fluffy) sitting under my Christmas tree with a big red bow around it.
2. New people to meet.
3. Membership to Hanson.net.
4. "The Beautiful Letdown" album by Switchfoot.
5. Something made especially for me, no matter what it is.
6. Someone to talk to and have hot chocolate with on Christmas Eve.
7. To watch snow fall on Christmas in NYC.
8. Hanson white and black tank tops from Hanson.net store. Or a bag with the Hanson headphones and cord on it, like what's on the tops.
9. Unlimited internet hours for a whole year or a program for my computer which lets me make half-decent graphics!
10. A mix CD of songs that you like.
And one more just for luck: A hug. Any size, shape or style.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
