Disclaimer: I do not, as a rule, celebrate nor otherwise pay much attention to the so-called Holiday Season, mainly due to the religious connections therein. I do, however, usually celebrate the New Year, and as people give gifts on December the 24th, I give them around January the 1st or around the time of Chinese New Year.
Step 1
☆彡 Make a post (public, f-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 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.
☆彡 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.
☆彡 Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step 2
☆ 彡 Surf around your friends list (or friends' friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
☆彡 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.
☆彡 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.
☆彡 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.
Big and small, in no particular order,
1) a spike mat, something similar to this. their price ranges from €30 to €90 and beyond.
2)soy candles (feck, starting to sound awfully new age-y with where I'm going with this list)
3) an appointment to TAYS! please?
4) a very thorough massage, preferably for the whole body but I'd take anything
5) constructive criticism to some of my photographs, here or anywhere
6) a chance to see Phantom of the Opera, or Les Misérables (the latter I have seen once, but it was kind of a songs-only version)
7) a sack of short grain rice
8) models for future photoshoots, professional or amateur
9) a stylish vegan winter coat such as the one here
10) a drawing, made just for me
Edit: I return to this post to cross out wishes that have been granted.
