About:
what is holiday_wishes?
This is the InsaneJournal Community for the Holiday Wishes project as conceived in 2004 by tartanshell. While Holiday wishes began on Livejournal and continues strong there, a number of people requested a mirrored community here on insane journal. This is the place to post wishlists that Livejournal's TOS may disallow, or for those whose fandoms migrated and now interact mostly here. If you interact both on Livejournal and Insanejournal, you may post your wishlist (with the same wishes!) to the Holiday Wishes communities on both journaling communities.

STEP ONE
  • Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. 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 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 to 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) can get in touch with you. Your home address is not required!
  • 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 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 one person'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 guarantees with this project, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give and you might receive. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.


    community rules
    Before posting, you MUST read the community information and rules here.

    You may post Thank You's to this community(since it is much less busy than the Livejournal one) or, if you also are replying on the other site, you can post thank yous to the Livejournal companion community holiday_thanks.
