What Is Holiday Wishes and how does it work?
This is the community for the Holiday Wishes project as conceived in 2004 by

tartanshell in this post.

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. [Note: Your home address is 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 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 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.

Community Rules
1. Post your wishlist once, and only once!

2. Limit your wishlist to 10 items.

3. Do not post to announce that you've updated your list. It's bad form to make additions if some of your wishes have already been granted. This includes linking back to your wishlists in thank you's and other posts. Once you have posted your wishlist in the community, please give others a chance and don't post it again.

4. If you make changes to your list (i.e. crossing off items that you've received, or changing your contact information), edit your original post.

5. This community is now moderated, so you may have to wait a bit for your wishlist to appear.

6. There is no need to include the steps of the meme in your wishlist post if it is on the community, so feel free to save the rest of us a little space :)
