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.
The rest of these will be filled with 'ums' until I think of something. So nyah.
10. A padded case for my minis. Especially if I'm going to keep painting (must paint!)
9. The Muppet Christmas Carol on DVD.
8. Subscription to Writer's Digest
7. Gift Certificates? To Borders, Barnes & Nobles, some DVD place... guh. I have no idea. This shit's harder than it looks.
6. TM fic on the theme of 'family.' Since it's been in my mind a lot lately. Any length, whatever.
5.My two front teeth. Someone else's two front teeth. Song/book recs.
4. Raymond Watts. 'cause, yeah.
3. Hellboy.
2. Stargate on DVD. Any season. Sure. Why not?
1. All the people in me and my friends' heads to STOP BEING SO DAMN ANGSTY. Just for one day? Please?
Anyone who wants my contact information, e-mail me at dru_dollhouse at yahoo dot com. Anyone who doesn't already have it, that is.
And, for amusement value...
"I want peace on Earth and good will towards men."
"Oh you have GOT to be.."
"No, no, hear him out."
"No, I'm serious. I want peace on Earth and good will towards men."
"... We are the United States Government. We don't do that sort of thing."
"You're just going to have to try."
".... all right. I'll see what I can do."
"Thank you very much. 's all I ask."
