MY TOP 5 THINGS I'D LIKE TO HAVE:

1. A Tablet so I may finally be able to draw on my laptop w/out messing with my stupid touch pad ;_;

2. One or more of the Guitar Hero games: (I.E. Guitar Hero 5, Guitar Hero world tour, Guitar Hero Aerosmith [I have 2&3 and Metallica already)

3. A Barnes & Noble gift card for 20/50 dollars so I can just pick out a few books I've been wanting. much easier that way.

4. A Stuffed bunny that is black with red belly/ears/feet and bow around the neck. ^_^

5. A more stable job so I don't have to worry about not having a roof over our heads.

THE BASICS:

Write a Christmas/Holiday wish list. It can be any ten 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 ONE

** 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 TWO

** 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.
