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, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two

- Surf around your friendslist (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 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 Wishy Listy Dealy

1. A fic from this list here

2. A rec for a good cd/dvd/fic/book.

3. That two-sided tape with a little pad between it.

4. Your old pogs, Pokemon cards, broken Furby, or any fad item.

5. Old magazines or newspapers. Doesn't matter what kind.

6. Old hats. Maybe from your Grandpa, or just something you don't wear any longer.

7. Crayon and coloring book.

8. Interesting lamps, shampoo bottles, rocks, wrappers, etc.

9. One of the books your mom or dad read to you when you were little.

10. Headphones. My sister doesn't have any, and she has to bum my pair.

Thanks for the recs!

Would you call the Harry Potter trading card game a fad? because I could send you some of my cards. Just drop me a note on what you decide.
or email me at mystic_sphinx@graffiti.net

[katiemariie.livejournal.com]

HP trading cards would be great!

I'd like to recommend the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix. They're YA fantasy novels, but they're really innovative and engrossing. Worth a read.
I'd also recommend the movie "Amelie". Yes, it's in french, but it's a really great movie.

[katiemariie.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the recomendations! BTW, I love your icon!

[suitcasegnome.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! :) I love my icon too. I got from the icon journal "missing_buds". Check it out sometime. :)

A book recommendation: _Middlesex_ by Jeffrey Eugenides.

[katiemariie.livejournal.com]

Found you from the master list...

I have a pair of headphones I could send you if you'd like, I find them ubcomfortable so they're just sitting in a drawer. If someone else could use them, I'd gladly mail them off. Email me at snufje @ sevspace.com if you're interested. :)

For a great movie try: Requiem For A Dream. A bit depressing and not for people that can't deal well with drug issues and the such. It's one of the best movies I've ever see nthough, and you'll remember it for a while.

I keep forgetting to comment here but would you want a Flemish newspaper and magazine? I could get you one. I have different hats at home but some the hats have had the size changed. I have a weird head size lol. But if you want I could maybe send you one.
