hilsStep One:
1. Make a post (public, friends locked, 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 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.
2. 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.
3. Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two
1. Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
2. 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. Everyone to have a merry Christmas :)
2. Christmas cards/postcards of your home town
3. Anything from my Amazon Wishlist
4. Christmas fanfiction. Y'all know the pairings I like. If you don't, just ask :)
5. A new Friends Only or LJ Header banner. Again, you know the sorts of people to put on it
6. Anything from here
7. Christmasy icons
8. Anything piratey
9. Anything naval/nautical
10. A lottory win would be nice ;)

IMPORTANT: I haven't had time to bookmark your wishlists, so if you have posted your wishlist in your journal, it would be very nice if you commented with a link. :) I'll do my best to grant a wish. :D
