STEP ONE
# Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of ten holiday 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 to 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) can get in touch with you. Your home address is not required!
# Make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

STEP TWO
# Surf around your friends list (or friendsfriends, 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 one person'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. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

1. Something from my Amazon Wishlist

2. Really comfortable, soft, and long socks. Now that I have a walking cast on both legs, the doctor wants me to wear socks. The problem with that, is that most socks are rough or tight, and that's not going to work with swelling or comfort.

3. Stuffed animals. Preferably stuffed dogs, but any animal really, just so long as it's super soft.

4. Anything Kane, Christian Kane, or Florence and the Machine. I am loving on all of that music right now.

5. Headers, icons, or fic of Eric from Gossip Girl, Jeremy from TVD, or Blue Bloods.

6. Fic archives. I've been looking for characters with either permanent or temporary physical disabilities. Also, just anything gen from my fandoms.

7. Holiday headers or icons for TVD or Blue Bloods.

8. Coda fics. There's a few that I'm looking for: "Fallout" in Heroes from Nathan's POV, "Charge of This Post" in CSI:NY from Mac's POV, "Revelations" from Criminal Minds from either Hotch, Gideon, or Morgan's POV, any of the more angstier Jeremy episodes, anything from Blue Bloods, and anything Blue Bloods.

9. Show reccs. I'm looking for something specific this year. Firs off, going with the fic idea in #6, I'm looking for wheelchair bound characters. Also, I can relate with G from NCIS:LA and Lux from Life Unexpected. I'm wondering if there are any other shows (or movies) with former/current foster kids in them.

10. Snack foods from the country or region that you're from.

Also, I usually wish for snow. This year, I'm saying "please, God, wait until I'm not walking like Jimmy Donnelly to make it snow."
