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.

** 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 want the 8th and 9th graders on my bus to stop picking on this kid named Donald. He’s never done anything to them and they constantly make fun of him. It annoys me to no end because it’s petty and rude.

2. I'd really like to truly be myself in public, and even at home.

3. I really really want to get a job... preferably at Barnes and Noble. Even if it takes away what little free time I have.

4. I would love to have Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle on DVD.

5. And Howl’s Moving Castle as a book.

6. I want to have tons of snow to play in over Winter Break. We never have any snow during the 2 weeks we’re off. We always get it later.

7. I love receiving mail, especially handwritten letters! To me it shows that that person took time to write the letter and that they care! It pulls at my heartstrings a little... ;w;
I think I'm all set with letters this year xD
A big thanks to all the people who are writing letters!

8. My ultimate wish this year is to have an Optimus Prime voice changer helmet. I know it’s geeky, but I’ve recently become addicted to Transformers and it would just make my Christmas, my whole year, and quite possibly the rest of my high-schooling career that much more fun.

9. I really really want to get a part in my school’s Family Theatre Production. No one knows what it is yet, but I’m hoping so badly to get a part, even if it means another small/non-speaking role. I need the experience in front of people if I want to become a TV anchor.

10. Surprises are always nice
