Step 1
Make a post in your journal containing your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple to really big. The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
If you wish for real-life things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where folks could get in touch with you.
Step 2
Surf around other lists to see who has posted their list. 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 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
Step 3: The List
In no particular order, numbered only for convenience.
1. Commission me! (link) Art is the only source of income I've got right now that isn't a) welfare, gifts from relatives, or other charity, or b) plasma donations, which are somewhat degrading after a while. If you can't/won't commission me (or already have), then please consider passing on the word! I know there are tons of artists out there right now clamoring for commissioners' attention, but I'm still just starting to build up a reputation, and for that I need your help!
2. Donations of money, items, time, positive publicity, or whatever else you can think of to Frisky's Wildlife and Primate Sanctuary. I volunteered there for years and can give you my personal guarantee that 100% of donation money benefits the animals *directly.* It's not funded by government or grants; it runs completely off of donations and volunteerism. (Donations are tax-deductible in the US.)
3. Pez dispensers, new or used. Nothing collectible, because I'm going to drill holes in it. (To make a humidifier to put inside my ukulele case.) For some reason, I can't find them anywhere! I'm partial to the ones with Timon & Pumbaa. :P
4. Gift art! I don't really expect this, since I haven't done a whole heck of a lot with Tris, and my other characters have yet to see the light of day on FA, but if you should feel inspired. I'm also a fan of corgis, having a red-and-white Pembroke myself, and would love any art of this breed.
5. Don't expect this either, but: A bicycle trailer! By which I mean a trailer used to haul cargo with a bike, *not* something used for transporting the bike itself. Because my dog loves to go to the park, but it's too far for him to walk all the way there and back. And because my attempts to build a trailer myself have not gone well so far.
6. One of those little dishes that sits on the stove and holds the head of the big mixing spoon up off of the stove's surface. Whatsit? A spoon rest. Because food bakes onto the surface really fast with a gas-powered stove.
7. Two large, square Tidy Cats buckets with creased lids, like this. These make the BEST bicycle panniers. I don't want to buy the litter because I don't have any cats; I just want the empty buckets and lids.
8. A Kermit Clein poster. I've always wanted one and they're out of print.
9. Lasik eye surgery. So that I don't have to worry about how I'll survive the zombie apocalypse if one of the undead breaks my glasses during battle.
10. For the UN to reverse its recent vote, which essentially declared it internationally legal to arbitrarily execute people for being queer.
Also! Link me to your wish lists (I'm always short on money but if I can find some other way to be generous, I'd like that), and PM me if you need shipping info. :D

However, I may have an extra spoon thing-a-ma-jig laying around the house...
