Step One
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. 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 friends-list (or
If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes your “trash” is another's treasure.
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'd really love a vid set to Blue Oyster Cult's "Veteran of the Psychic Wars", featuring Sam Winchester. Really, it's the perfect song for him, especially these days! In particular, I'd like to see the "Mystery Spot" robo!Sam, hunting, off-the-reservation Sam in "I Know What You Did Last Summer", Sam detoxing in "When the Levee Breaks", and there's a line about "sliding into Hell" that's right out of "Swan Song". Everything from brooding-with-visions!Sam to soul-free!Sam…. I'm not usually a Sam!girl, but this song just nails Sam!angst for me.
2. A bar of Lush shampoo: Ultimate shine would be nice, or maybe some of The Blonde.
3. Cubis 2, the full-scale extended version, because I can pretty much do the tester in my sleep.
4. Zuma 2, because I’ve cracked Zuma 1, up to and including Space.
5. The perfect wide-leg, dark wash jeans…size? IDK, 28/30, I’d have to try them on….
6. It's that time of year. My LJ subscription is fixing to lapse, and I wish some nice person would renew it for me. And if they wanted to renew my icons and maybe upgrade me to the mega-mondo-super-duper icon package, that would be really awesome, too. You can never have too many icons!
7. A box of Russell Stover’s Molasses Chews, or maybe some Kookaburra Australian Black Licorice.
8. A new(er) refrigerator. (I know, I know--it’s pie-in-the-sky. But maybe The Universe is listening.)
9. I can think of so many things…that’s the thing about being unemployed and on an *extremely* fixed income---there’s no shortage of shortages! Because I’m trying to scale back on “stuff”, I tried to request things that either wouldn’t take up space, are consumable, or would be used daily. That said, surprises that fall into any of those three categories are wonderful!
10. However, there is one none-of-the-above thing I REALLY want: The Season One DVDs for “Justified”. Which aren’t actually coming out til January 25th. Sure would make for a Happy New Year, though!
