Oh no, it's only a WEEK to Christmas. Holy Hell... I mean, Jesus Christ, no wait... good God, oh stuff it. In between commercialisation, working in the midst of retail hell and general freaking out I don't really care anymore.
A Christmas Lights Video - whoever did it has way too much time on their hands but damn me if that doesn't look cool.
In Which I Tell You That Everyone's Crazy: The War On Christmas - A nice, so to speak, little post on Christmas and what not which about sums up my feelings entirely.
Pinguin - Just to stop you all going crazy at Christmas, cause you don't have enough time to waste as is ;P
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 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.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.
STEP TWO
- Surf around your friends list (or friend's friends, 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 HOLIDAY WISH LIST which comes with no instructions because I am not expecting to get anything and if by some chance you are capable of giving some of the things on this list then you must be either bloody smart enough or well connected enough to find me and give them to me in person. For all the other things... well, you don't need my contact details :P
01. More paid account time/extra userpics (because duh, this is LJ, it's like compulsory to put that on here)
02. A new wardrobe (consisting not only of a fancy old fashioned wardrobe itself but also a wide variety of weird, funky, grungy looking clothes as well as all those beautiful costumes in movies and tv shows that I admire and lust over. Also, the shoes and accessories would be great too.)
03. An armoury of assorted weaponry both the functional and just plain pretty (also a buff, shirtless blacksmith would also be welcome)
04. One of those needle machine things from the Matrix so I could learn how to use all the assorted weaponry (plus, I would know kung-fu)
05. A castle (to live in)
06. Inspiration (for stuff)
07. For Australia not to always be behind in release dates (GOD DAMN IT!)
08. More petrol in my car (go down fuel prices, GO DOWN!)
09.World peace An end to world stupidity (... what?)
10. A genie in a bottle (without any strings attached just in case I forgot something on the list)
Hem hem, I expect all of these to be honoured... Seriously, there was some good shit there.
Sigh, I also have to work two of the late night shopping days before Christmas. And by work, I mean stand in for the manager which means I have to deal with stuff when things go wrong. Oh joy!

 Dear Santa...Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In September I signed my organ donor card (28 points). In August I gave ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small} nowritinghere a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points). Last month I broke jamie2109's X-Box (-12 points). In November I helped omgwtf42 across the street (6 points). Last Saturday I helped scoradh see the light (8 points). Overall, I've been nice (80 points). For Christmas I deserve a Lego set! Sincerely, |
