    Basics and Rules
    Based on the meme @ holiday_wishes.

    STEP ONE
    - Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your IJ. The post should contain your list of 20 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. [Note: Your home address is not required!]

    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--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. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

    Community Rules

    1. You can post your wishlists multiple times, but you should limit it to once a week per wishlist.

    2. Limit your wishlist to 20 items.

    3. There is no need to include the steps of the meme in your wishlist post if it is on the community, so feel free to save the rest of us a little space :)

    4. Always list what kind of wishlist this is. It can be: Birthdays, Holidays, Just Because, Icons only, Baby Registries, Wedding Registries, Housewarmings, Graduation, Children's Lists

    5. No adult content in your posts and no adult icons.

    6. Multiple external wishlists are allowed.

    7. After your wishlist has been approved, please select the appropriate tags.

    8. Please, no illegal content.

    9. If you ask for food, please include allergy warnings for foods

    10. It might be helpful to include your likes and dislikes.

    My Christmas Wishlist
    1. Amazon wl (a thousand hugs and kisses to anyone who gets me anything Heroes, Gilmore Girls, or Milo Ventimiglia related)
    2. Paid LJ time and icons for princess_loser
    3. Chocolate (no peanut butter)
    4. Clothes/Pajamas (2X tops, 3X bottoms - any style)
    5. TV on DVD
    6. Gift Cards
    7. Stuffed Animals
    8. Books (Chick Lit, Romances, Cookbooks)
    9. CDs (any style)
    10. Something from ThinkGeek
    11. Gryffindor stuff
    12. Bookmarks
    13. Mix CDs
    14. an HDTV (a girl can dream right?)
    15. Anything autographed by Milo Ventimiglia, Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, or Orlando Bloom
    16. A copy of the DSM-IV
    17. Girly stuff
    18. Earrings (must be real gold or silver because of metal sensitivity, not greed)
    19. Anything from Heroes, POTC, HP, Buffy, or Titanic
    20. Dog toys for my pets so that they can have Christmas presents, too

    None of the stuff has to be new, except the chocolate. I think used stuff is cool, too, as long as it is in good/working condition.

    Anything would be greatly appreciated. This year has been especially rough on my family. My dad has been out of work for several years now, and is trying to get on disability. My mom can't work because of her disabilities. (I'm also on disability.) There has been a lot of sucky stuff going on this year. Any of this stuff would bring a huge smile to my face.
