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.

** Also, 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 around your friend list 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 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.

1. I DEFINITELY need higher self esteem. I always have these random bouts of depression, thinking that I'm not good enough for anything.

2. I'd like to care more about things, especially school work. My grades were a lot better last year, but they're not as good as I'd like them to be this year... Also, this is probably linked with my laziness, so I need something done about that. > >;

3. To find a soul mate by Christmas day.

4. South Park related stuff would be nice.

5. Anything Death Note related.

6. I'd like to get a plane ticket to England~ Maybe even stay there permanently.

7. That I could keep in touch with me friends forever.

8. I hope I can take as many memorable pictures and videos as I can, to create one of the most epic videos of my friends.

9. I wonder what having a DA subscription would be like... xD

10. Umm, I can't think of anything else, so I'll just say happiness!
