THE BASICS: write a Christmas/Holiday wish list. It can be any 10 wishes you'd like to have granted, no matter what they are. Possible or seemingly impossible. People look and grant the wishes if they can. It's not about "OMFG PRESENTS", it's about making someone else's holiday a little brighter by giving. Personally, I get more out of giving than receiving sometimes. It's just a good feeling to give.
STEP ONE
** Make a post in your journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun ("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 possible things, 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. In this case, you can always just note someone on dA.
** Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, so that others can join in and participate to spread the holiday joy!
STEP TWO
** Surf around your friend list 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. Assortment of Beads. ANY type of beads. I don't care how big or small, how ugly, how mundane, style. Metal, Acrylic, Glass, Sterling silver, silver plated, copper, stones, etc. Beads that are styled as skulls, animals, faces, drama masks, leaves, etc. Send 'em on over!
2. Semi-Precious gems. Small or medium sized quartz, cats eyes, onyx, agate, etc... Rocks and seashells are awesome too!
3. Anything leather. Not pleather. Leather. It can be an old jacket, wallet, even leather chords will be happily accepted.
4. Wire. Copper/german/beadalon/fire mountain/etc... wire for jewelry making (22g-16g, anything higher, your choice)
5. Beading/jewelry making tools. Right now I'm working with a mini flat tip screw driver, scissors and a round nose pliers.
6. Books on warfare, how to crochet, pagan/"new age" books, MoonChild by Aleister Crowley, books on mythology, medieval poetry and folk tales. Anything.
7. A Tarot deck. Leaning towards the Thoth deck by Aleister Crowley. Due to the fact that seven is my "lucky" number, I'd like to add this into my wishlist.
8. A pipe. A nice wooden pipe.
9. A MONOCLE, to add some class along with the pipe.
10. Candle making stuff. Wax, molds, pots, pans, hand dipping supplies, colors/dyes, scents. :nods: That would make me a happy camper.
Be sure to post your wishlist as well, I'm participating on sending stuff out!

You don't have to apologize. The fault was my own.
