-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.

-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) I always love when people draw art of me. I'm such an attention whore. XD
2) Music! Be it links to downloads, cds, records, or cassette tapes...
3) My grandmother out of the house. :[
4) Baked goods!!!! I love cookies and muffins and cupcakes and stuff.
5) More jeans. T_T I don't have enough
6) Cat toys! (Okay, not for myself obviously....)
7) Sweet potatoes. Not cooked or anything...just the sweet potatoes so that I can do whatever I want with them.
8) Cherry pie
9) Vivienne Westwood Orb Locket
10) Krystal Harris' "Me & My Piano" cd

For those of you who remember my obsessive searching for a blue sparkly dress over the summer, I think I may have found it--The One.

How ironic is it that just when I am getting ready to give up, and about a month and a half after I stopped actively seeking one, that this one popped its way into my life. It is a bit more than what I wanted to pay, but I just got my paycheck and it's a bit larger than I had originally anticipated, so this won't set me back at all! Plus, since it's from Forever 21, I know that there's a really good chance of it fitting me well since that store offers XS's!

It's so perfect, I'm going tomorrow to see if I can get it. Squee!
