ONE

Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) 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 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 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 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 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. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Thanks to magelette for her generous gift to me. Combined with some money my grandma gave me for Christmas, I am now only $675.17 away from paying off my Visa! Two more payments and I'm done! \O/

To my dear friend tim_80 for renewing Bosco's residency at Rainbow Bridge. You are awesome. ♥

All right, folks. Here's what's been requested from the family Jamie and I are adopting at the shelter where we work!

( Wishes. )

So yeah. There ya go. If you want to do any of this stuff, please let me know, the sooner the better. That way there's plenty of time for shipping, and for Jamie and I to get everything wrapped and ready. Also, this family has NO Christmas decorations of any kind. They had to leave pretty much everything behind when they came into shelter, and they're afraid to go back to the house where the abuser is.

Again, you can also feel free to send checks (and you may even designate what gift(s) you'd like the money to go toward if you wish). But yeah. Here it is.

Screening the comments because if you say you want a card, please leave me your address. Even if we've exchanged cards before, please leave it here if you want a card. Thanks! :D

I am officially ON VACATION PEOPLE.

Vacation.

I have not had an actual week's vacation from Dove since...well, ever!

But don't worry. I have plenty to keep me busy. I'm starting on Chris...uh, holiday presents. *hides from katelennon.* And I have reading to do, and Lea's going to come over and bring the kidlets to swim, and then Thursday I'm going to visit tim_80 which I'm really excited about, and THEN, Friday, I will be in the theaters seeing I Want to Believe.

Author’s Note I: Yeah I wrote this back at Christmas time and forgot about it and found it in a notebook last night. I dedicate it to Katie! Happy early birthday! J
Author’s Note II: A short ficlet/drabble of choice in a fandom I’m in for the first person to correctly guess the references to two other shows. :P One will be relatively easy, the second not so much :P

( Santa Baby. )

Um, yeah. So I decided that my muse needs fed. So I'm stealing this idea from several of my flisters. Give me a prompt and some characters and I'll write a short little ficlet every day between now and Dec. 25th. In theory. :P These are the fandoms I'll write for:

Angel, Alias, Buffy, Lost, Roswell, Third Watch, X-Files, Joan of Arcadia, Supernatural, Smallville, Jericho, Sliders. Or any combination/crossover of those. Feel free to suggest more than one prompt/day in case I can't think of something for one. Oh yeah, and pick the day you want me to post each prompt.

And also? Because I suck and totally forgot to wish tyniere a happy birthday two days ago? I'm going to write three for her. For her late birthday present. Of her choosing. *gives puppy dog eyes* Forgive me?

Take it away, folks!
