Christmas Wish List

[caliente_uk]

I can't believe it's almost that time of year again! I wasn't sure whether to do this again this year, but then I thought...why not? :)

Step One
Make a post (public, friends locked, 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 (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 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.



1. I'd love some new Spuffy fic to read.

2. A pretty James or Spike lj banner just for me.

3. James Marsters in my Christmas stocking. *g*

4. A chance to meet up with my LJ friends next year...hopefully at a new James Marsters event! :D

5. Veronica Mars S1 (R1) on DVD.

6. A self-esteem boost, so that if number 4 happens I won't be as overcome by shyness as I was in October. :)

7. A personalised James Marsters icon (preferably with his new longer hair)

8. For my daughter to have a happy and healthy year in 2006.

9. A James Marsters wallpaper, to remind me of the wonderful time I had in London.

10. I wish peace, love and happiness for everyone everywhere...but especially for my family and friends.

This last thing isn't really a wish, but I don't mention them often enough so I'm going to do it here. Thank you to my wonderful husband and son for all the love and support they've given to me and K this year. I honestly don't know where I'd be without them.

What kind of Spuffy fic? Give me a scene you'd like to see, an episode to twist, etc. and I'll see what I can do about it. :)

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

Oh, a Spuffy fic from you really would be a wish come true! Thank you. :)

I'd like it to be Christmassy if possible, with snow involved in there somewhere (it's a fic kink of mine *g*). Maybe set some time in S7, but with a Spuffy twist.

*hugs you*

[jerusha]

Yay! I've been wanting to do some kind of Christmas Spuffy fic, and I didn't know how it was going to get done. S7, Spuffy twist, and snow. Check.

*hugs back*

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I can't wait to see what you come up with. :D

Can do number 7, will hope for number 8 with you.

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! :D

Number 8 is the one that all my hopes are pinned on.

*hugs*

I've just realised that 5 out of my 10 wishes involve JM in some way. I'm not sure what that says about me. *g*

[hesadevil.livejournal.com]

I've got permission to use one of Pandis' photos as the base image so I'll make more than one so that you can chose the one you like the best.


I've just realised that 5 out of my 10 wishes involve JM in some way.
Well at least most of them are inexpensive (if somewhat mission impossible'.)

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

Pandis'photos are amazing! Thank you (and her) so much! :)

I tried to think of things that were more wishful thinking than anything. A girl can dream... :D

[kazzy-cee.livejournal.com]

I can give you #2 Cal. What kind of thing would you like? Give me some ideas....!

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Karen! (or do you prefer me to call you Kazzy?) :D

Ideas? Hmm...maybe something sexy that combines both Spike and JM? (and no, I don't mean in that way! *g*)

I suck at ideas, which is why I suck at graphics. I could never come up with some of the ideas that you do! ;)

[kazzy-cee.livejournal.com]

LOL I'll answer to anything! :)

I'll have a think about some ideas and let you know in a few days.

[lmbossy.livejournal.com]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for 3 and 4 *g* ... and most best wishes for 8
and I hope as many of your other wishes come true as possible *hugs*

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Claire. :D

*hugs*

[lmbossy.livejournal.com]

here's a little pressie to wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year *hugs*

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you, Claire. I love it! *hugs*

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Talk to you soon!

[authoressnebula.livejournal.com]

1 is already done, but it'll be posted the week before Christmas. ^_^ And number 3...

I think James Marsters with nothing but a Christmas stocking on a certain spot would be wonderful. *GRINS*

Hoping to do number 7 too, but me and graphics aren't the best of friends. Still, everyone should have a personalized icon! ^_^

*hugs*

I can't wait to read it! I'm such a lucky girl. :)

Hee! That's an image I wouldn't mind seeing! :D

Thank you. *hugs you*

[spikereader.livejournal.com]

Can't help with granting any, but I think we should all try and make no 4 happen with or without Mr M, and I will start sending subliminal messages to get rid of that shyness. And I really really hope no 8 comes true for you and K.

*hugs*

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Carolyn. *hugs*

We should definitely try to sort something out for next year. It would be great for everyone to meet up again! :)

[cdn-tvaddict.livejournal.com]

Oh Cal, I wish I could make all your wishes come true. :) But, there is one I can help with...

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

{{{Jody}}} I love you, you know that? I miss you so much! We'll have to try and arrange a get together at ACN some time soon. That really would be a Christmas wish come true! *hugs and smooches you*

[raelee.livejournal.com]

Darrrrrrrrrrrrling! Hey, what size wallpapers do you use? Or, rather, what is your resolution set at? 1024x768??

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's set at 1024x768. :)
