STEP ONE
Make a post to your DA journal. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a ______ 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 DA or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.

STEP TWO
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:

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 -- do it.

You need not 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. Give, and you might receive. and you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.


My list:

1. My heart longs for world peace, no people suffering, no wars, just happiness and understanding for everyone... This might sound kinda stupid and naive, but I can´t stand the feeling knowing there´re people out there suffering from hunger, war and lonliness... I wish for everyone to have someone to listen and comfort them, when the need it...

2. I wish for nothing more than some money to make my bf's wish come true... His own doctor's office, where he is his own boss and no one says to him that he has to shorten his findings to boost the incomes with having more patients. A place where he can take all the time he needs for his patients, a place where he can listen to their problems without thinking about a boss snapping at him for taking some time to listen to them...

3. I would love to see a film adaption of my book...

4. I want my grandpa to be proud of me for what I do... For all the time I remember, he has never been proud of me or of what I do...

5. I want to meet my closest friends in real life, who live far away in other countries... It´s kinda ironic, but without internet and dA, I would have never been able to get to know about them...

6. I would love to complete my manga collection...

7. I want to give gifts to my friends to make them smile, there´re a lot of things I would love to buy for them, but I lack the money to do so...

8. I wish for my skills to be acknowledged by others... I want to be loved for the things I am capable of doing, not always being told what I can´t do...

9. I want to fly to New Zealand one day to walk through the country looking for all the places where 'Lord of the Rings' was turned into a movie... This is one of the movies which inspired me the most. Such a wonderful world, where I want to wander through...

10. Recieving a gift...
