10 wishes pay it forward

[baronessekat]

GET IT BACK (taken from a couple people)

The Rules:
Step One

- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 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, 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) could get in touch with you.

- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ.

Step Two

- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. See above for one option. There's also a LJ group "holiday_wishes" where folks post lists like this) 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.

My wishes:

1. Big wish: snowblower or snowplowing service
2. Foodsaver vacuum sealer and the do-dads that go with it
3. Size Small dog sweaters for Grimm (no pink)
4. Sunocco gift cards
5. Wegmans and/or Tops Supermarket gift cards
6. Anything from my amazon list
7. Someone else to put up the Christmas lights
8. To be able to ease the hurting of dear friends
9. My internal clock to change so I don't feel the desire to go crawl into bed at 8:30pm
10. Grimm to pass TDI test when it comes round again.

I would be love to put up your lights, with or without other hands assisting. Including any detangling, testing, bulb-replacement required. And I would LOVE to average out our sleepy times- I can't seem to get to get there until the wee hours :/
