usmcsis's Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my christmas list

borrowed from beth�s and steph's diaries:

step one

make a post to your diary. 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 solstice 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.

also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your diary, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

step two

surf around your buddy list (or your buddy's buddies, 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 list:

1. a gold membership to diaryland.
2. a gift card to books-a-million or barnes & noble (so i can support my reading addiction)
3. a gift card to target (so i can buy shampoo and stuff)
4. a new dvd player (mine died a horrible death shortly after it's first birthday)
5. the dukes of hazzard season one on dvd
6. a care bear stuffed animal
7. a cookie jar... or two
8. a couple of new pairs of khakis for work
9. a bottle of warm vanilla sugar lotion from bath and body works
10. a cool 2005 calendar
