THE BASICS: write a Christmas/Holiday wish list. It can be any 10 wishes you'd like to have granted, no matter what they are. Possible or seemingly impossible. People look and grant the wishes if they can. It's not about "OMFG PRESENTS", it's about making someone else's holiday a little brighter by giving. Personally, I get more out of giving than receiving sometimes. It's just a good feeling to give.

STEP ONE

** Make a post in your journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun ("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 possible things, 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. In this case, you can always just note someone on dA for the sake of privacy.

** Make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, so that others can join in and participate to spread the holiday joy!


STEP TWO

** Surf this forum ( [link] ) and browse the lists. 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.

Here's my list of...stuff. I guess.

1. Anything Stitch related (plushies, clothes, miscellaneous items)
2. A plushie of either sandshrew, raichu, palkia, keckleon, treecko, cyndaquil, or chimchar. But any one of those ^^
3. Fanart of Amber or Bartholomeu. There is barely any fanart of them, and it would make me so happy if someone would be willing to draw them.
4. To find new friends. I love finding new people who like the same things as I
5. To know that I can do something nice for people, or that people appreciate me.
6. For people to go up to a friend, old or new and just remind them how important they are to them.
7. I want to be able to not be in emotional pain. It's cheesy, but I want to find something to help me heal myself for the holidays.
8. Someone who'd be interested in buying my artwork. I don't even care if they can afford to or not (although it'd be nice ) I just want to know that my artwork is worth SOMETHING.
9. Also cheesy, but I want to know i'm loved by somebody. That i'm truly cared for somehow.
10. Something for my grandmother/family, since my grandmother has had a very stressful year this year. I just want to do something really nice for her.
