I got this from (lookin4he2luv)
Kind of like a Wish List:
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.
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.
I don't have anything that I need, so I didn't put anything on my list, but here's an example of an actual person. There is contact info after for if you actually can get something for them. I think this is pretty interesting, I can't believe that many people will do it, but it's fun to think that it might work for some people.
lookin4he2luv's wish list
1. A letter, card, note, whatever! Don't care what you say, just send it (snail mail prefered).
2. A visit or party/club invite during my college break. [18 December through 23 January] (Other than the two times we may be going to see RHPS)
3. Something local to where you live. (A certain kind of rock; a type of candy; a key chain with your towns name on it, whatever)
4. A mix cd. Almost any type of music, Don't care.. Limited to no country though.
5. Make me laugh on Christmas. Call me, write something goofy, make a silly icon, make a funny LJ post, whatever.
6. Any good DVD's you'd think I'd be into (I don't have many, so take your pick or get a rare-ish thing like a comedy DVD)
7. Something for my car (seat cover, dice, ect)
8. An icon made just for me. (Any kind of icon that you would think of me by looking at it. I'll likely even add your's to my user icons.)
9. A warm scarf, hat, mittens, ect for this winter.
10. Candles! Don’t care the color, scent, or size, I just want more candles!
