Christmas Meme (already?!)
14 years ago
Stolen from Bloovee because I think it's a really sweet idea. I just hope I can find some I can grant for other people!
STEP ONE
# Make a post to your journal. 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 journal, 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 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. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
My Christmas Wishlist
1. To have my fiance here in England, or at least have his visa application put in/granted. Or some help/advice on achieving this.
2. To have enough money spare to give more to charity (Oxfam/Red Cross).
3. For more people to do their Christmas shopping in charity shops/charity catalogues. This doesn't mean you have to buy second hand stuff - plenty of charity shops have brand new items too!
4. Some panda-related clothing to wear to meets (no where seems to have stuff with pandas on in fat girl sizes T_T).
5. To have a secure job, preferably in IT or teaching.
6. Variety of pink wool to make more of my random stripey pink blanket.
7. A nice picture of my non-fursona OC Kazhul (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1545450/)
8. Prayers for the health and happiness of everyone in our world.
9. My Little Ponies (in any shape or form!)
10. Peace and relaxation.
I've tried to make as many things on my list stuff you can't buy/spend money on, because I think that's in the spirit of this. Go forth and make your own lists! I hope I can make you happy too!
