HE 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.


1 -To spend time with those who matter, both in real life and here. I don't see my family as much anymore because of the move and online friends of course can only be spent time with online (part of me wishes that could change) but even just to chat and spend precious time with people is wonderful to me. I want to do a great american road trip or something when I get caught up with money again >BD

2- To know my brother is healthy....He's had some health issues and more concerning ones as of late. I'm real worried....I just want him to be okay, or get his ultrasound done soon, or even just get a diagnosis sooner then later....Just having my little brother in peoples prayers is enough and just for people to tell me he's gonna be fine and will beat whatever it is just like he always does. Tough kid, love him to bits. Also more support/assistance on convincing him he should calm the hell down and take care of himself would be epic! The kids a workaholic and I don't want the idiot to strain himself and possibly make himself worse >BI

3- The secret to drawing Smut DB> Because If I could learn how to shut off the part of my brain that says I'd be judged then I'd be all like 'MAUAHAHA' But I have no confidence as and no idea as to how people get past that l'D

4- Persimmons D8> My newest fruit addiction! A weird yet delicious thing. Buying more tomorrow.....l'D

5- For *Capital-City-JingDou to be a huge success CB> I'm so excited~ Opening soon.

6- To play Left 4 Dead for the first time. HUGE ZOMBIE FAN and never played the game D8> I suck. I've watched my brother play it but was to busy visiting with my mom to get a chance to play *emos*

7- To get more fish or accessories B( I feel kind of bad that my man and I have like over 20 gallons of tank space and.....4 fish, all of which are Beta's l'D females in the big tank, makes in each of their own. Or to get more fish tank accessories...Like a castle for Hiko! 8D He'd love it <3....He's a jerk and bites me, but maybe he'd love me more if I got him a castle for his tank CB> Idea's of Beta friendly fish is very helpful.

8- Buttons, or idea's as to what to put on buttons. I have the press. But designs for 1''1/4 would be WIN! Give me a cool phrase if you could or something art wise if you don't mind me making buttons out of such CB> I'd love to make em, and would even like to send some out <3

9- I'd like to get FTMD on the roll but one thing is keeping me back. Motivation, scripting the comics and directing it in a style I like D8> I've worked hard on the story and still am doing so. A nice kick to the arse here would be nice.

10- I'd seriously like to do more trades and giftart because in doing so I feel the right to exercise art practice on poses and whatnot XD So if you'd like something drawn I'll try to do so CB> Just give me an idea, couple or anything. I can't say what quality free art will be, but I'd like to try my best on a bunch of doodles. Give me a message with an idea plz! CB
