Note: since i lost my job earlier this year I will not be able to buy anything for anyone. But I will still send cards. And if you would like a 'digital gift' (i.e. Wallpaper) from me please tell me what your favorite Movie/TV show or Actor/Actress is and I will make one for you

Cards: if you would like to get a card from me this Christmas please let me know. just note me with your full name and your address. If you live outside of the United States please include your country as well, by December 15th

if you think you can grant one of my wishes please note me saying you can or email me (I have 3 email addresses, one for Hotmail, one for Yahoo! and one for AIM)

here are my wishes, in no particular order (I only have 5 this year).......

1.) Original artwork from people I watch on here to hang up in my room or a print from my wishlist

2.) 550-1000 piece puzzles with animals on it (wild cats, baby animals, or horses)

3.) The Buried Pyramid by Jane Lindskold

4.) any Hellboy comic by Mike Mignola

5.) a book about the gods of Greece



Step One
Make a journal post. 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 journal, or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two
Surf around your friends list [on DA] 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.
