step one.
+ Make a post 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 ______ 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 e-mail address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you. (Note: home address, not required!)

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 friends list (or friends' friends, 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 pure-bred 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. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

step three.   List your Ten Wishes

1. Blood Ties Fiction!!  (I love all of it, but I haven't seen a good mystery or 'episode' lately)
2. My friends around me for the holidays
3. A lot of hugs for Christmas (I'm always in a cuddly mood)
4. Any non-USA  money bills/notes/coins  (low value, just for my son’s collection)
5. Christmas postcards (I'll give you my address if you want to send me).
6. Paid (or permanent) account
7. Can anyone catch me up on the Batman story line since about 1970?
8. An iPod Nano, Red or Purple, biggest Gbs.
9. Poetry
10. Inspiration for an excellent new fanfiction addiction

1. Achievement
You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision, determination, and an endless supply of expendable labor.

2. Arrogance
The best leaders inspire by example. When that's not an option, brute intimidation works pretty well, too.

3. Beauty
If you're attractive enough on the outside, people will forgive you for being irritating to the core.

4. Change
When the winds of change blow hard enough, the most trivial of things can become deadly projectiles.

5. Cluelessness
There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

6. Conformity
When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.

7. Dare to Slack
When birds fly in the right formation, they need only exert half the effort. Even in nature, teamwork results in collective laziness.

8. Defeat
For every winner, there are dozens of losers. Odds are you're one of them.

9. Delusions
There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality.

10. Destiny
You were meant for me. Perhaps as a punishment.

11. Do it Later
The early worm is for the birds.

12. Flattery
If you want to get to the top, prepare to kiss a lot of the bottom.

13. Futility
You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and, statistically speaking, 99% of the shots you do.

14. Humiliation
The harder you try, the dumber you look

15. Idiocy
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

16. Individuality
Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else.

17. Losing
If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.

18. Mediocrity
It takes a lot less time and most people won't notice the difference until it's too late.

19. Mistakes
It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.

20. Pessimism
Every dark cloud has a silver lining, but lightning kills hundreds of people each year who are trying to find it.

21. Pressure
It can turn a lump of coal into a flawless diamond, or an average person into a perfect basketcase.

22. Procrastination
Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.

23. Strife
As long as we have each other, we'll never run out of problems.

24. Underachievement
The tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the lawnmower.

25. Wishes
When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.
