Stolen from
deense because I think it's a cool idea.
- 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 ("I'd love an 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.
-
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. Books, I can't get enough books.
2. I would LOVE a new user icon.. mine all suck.
3. Cd's of your favorite music. I love to listen to new stuff.
4. A Cure for Cancer. (I had to throw that in there... just incase there's some schmo out there holding the cure.)
5. Tickets to see the Radio City Christmas show... I've never seen it, or Rockefeller Center at Christmas.
6. All of my family and friends to be with me on Christmas- I never get to spend enough time with any of them.
