MERRY Christmas!

[alianora]

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. anything off of my amazon wishlist

2. especially a copy on VHS of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead." cause i cant find it ANYWHERE.

I'm planning on working on a Lost fic after NaNo (which I see from your info you are doing as well) and I'm also considering starting a Lost Fic archive. Let me know if you get any hits on that request and I'll see what I can do to include Charlie and Claire into my fic - just for you! :)

It's your sister Melisa. I have $25 gift certificate to Carmike movie theatre. Do you want it mailed or do you want to come get it or what call me?

[janetmaca.livejournal.com]

Hey, I got your name off of Gen's list of friends with wishlists. I can offer number four if you still want it.

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

Yes! i want! yes yes yes!

[janetmaca.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I don't know the deal...do I send it to you (so you can decide what to do with it)or do I post it somewhere and dedicate it to you?

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

whichever is easiest for you, in all honesty. if you post it elsewhere, drop me a link here. if you want to send it to me, i can hug it to myself and never ever share, but most people like when more than just one person can read it.

[sirkpega.livejournal.com]

*Squeak* You didn't! OMG, you did! Premium Photobucket account!!! I LOVE YOU!! *tackle hug* Thank you so much!!

I'm crazy thrilled. I had filled the whole thing up and was starting other albums to post more pics.

Dude, I love the holoday season. Thank you so much Alia. Seriously.

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

dude, to show you all of my Mac excitement, it had to be something nifty that you really wanted. and while i can sit here and flatter you til the cows come home, i figured premium photobucket would be good..after all, you will need somewhere to store all your upcoming Mac icons, wont you?

also? i heart your icon. yes.

[genevieve.livejournal.com]

I am going to be dedicating a whole folder to just Alia icons. Mmhmm. It's a plan.

Thankies. My friend Heathyr found it for me.

[genevieve.livejournal.com]

Hee. It won't get there until after christmas, but oh well. You'll be happy with it.

What exactly does it mean to snog me madly?

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

er..heh. well.."to snog" is a british-ism meaning, "to kiss."

so basically, i just frenched you through the internet. hope it wasnt too sloppy. i did just brush my teeth, so i hope my breath was ok..

[genevieve.livejournal.com]

Ha!

Thumbs up ;)

wordoftheday100 tends to have Lostfics. I think agilebrit is the one who's writing it. She might do one for you. :)

Happy Holidays!
