I did it one or two years ago and was granted a wish... I'll try to look up for wish I could grant!

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.

Here's my list~
Christmas Wishlist

1. I'd like to have a deep conversation with a girl I've never met in real life, but have known here on DA for some time. I dunno, a conversation like... any others... simply... normal. Not about anything specific, just a conversation with a girl like Kittie, Kaia, Dagger, etc, etc...

2. I'd like to know if I can still love after all that's happened...

3. I didn't want to fall into material things, but I can't help it. I want that ocarina necklace: [link]

4. Anything from [link] would make my christmas, really.. my family doesn't know anything about that kind of stuff, so I get "boring" things on christmas...

5. I'd like to do a serious commission from someone, here on DA. I've had LOTS of commissions lately; photography, designs, tattoo designs, drawings... all from the "real world". Not any on DA...

6. I'd like to improve alot my drawings...

7. A good camera'd be nice too...

8. I'd like to be healed. I dunno how... I think being healed from my past scars would help me with my drawings. Is there a white mage in the audience?

9. I'd like to help someone. Last year, in my hometown, I saw this boy (ok, he was maybe 13 and I'm only 20, but...) who was waiting... and kept on waiting... He had obviously buy all his Christmas gift for the first time and his parents had forget to come and grab him at the mall... so I handed him my cellphone and was like "Hey dude, need to call?" and his face sparkled I was frigging happy after this... Like... "I did something so simple, and yet so nice"... I'd like to do something like that again...

10. Twice. I'd like to do something like that twice this year. Even numbers are always winning with me.
