THE BASICS: write a Christmas/Holiday wish list. It can be any 10 wishes you'd like to have granted, no matter what they are. Possible or seemingly impossible. People look and grant the wishes if they can. It's not about "OMFG PRESENTS", it's about making someone else's holiday a little brighter by giving. Personally, I get more out of giving than receiving sometimes. It's just a good feeling to give.

STEP 1

** Make a post in your journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun ("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 possible things, 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. In this case, you can always just note someone on dA.

** Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, so that others can join in and participate to spread the holiday joy!


STEP 2

** Surf around your friend list 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: I wish for my best friends Rika, Mikey, and Kaze to be happy this christmas and to get everything they want. <3

2: I wish for Rika's cat, Tiger, and my dog, Romeo, to both be happy and healthy... I know that is rather impossible becasue both of our dear animals are coming to the end of their lives... My Romeo seems healthy at the moment... but I know he only has another 1 or 2 years to live.

3: I wish for my mother to be happy in this shitty economical crisis. I wish she could relax a little and not have to worry about spending too much money...

4: I wish for someone to love... That actually loves me back.. Please....

5: I would really like a Great Dane puppy... and my mother to not be allergic to animal dander...

6: I would really like a rainbow raccoon tail

7: I also would really like to be more motivated to do the things I would usually love to do... and to not be depressed all the time...

8: I would like to get straight A's this semester...

9: I really hope to go to Disney next year the same time as Rika...
