One of my favourite Christmas (more Winter) songs is River by Joni Mitchell. Considering my in a complete huff state of today (not made any better by having to make a whole load of thank you cards and then forgetting one after I thought I was done), it was probably not such a great idea to listen to it repeatedly. It makes me weepy at the best of times, and right now I'm hormonal and full of festive gumblings. But I like it. After searching through iTunes I realised I now have 4 different versions of River: Joni, Travis, Sarah McLachlan and Robert Downey Jr. So I was wondering if anyone had/knew of any other versions of it that they would care to share? I know there's more out there, I'm just too damn lazy to look ; )

Figured now was as good a time as any ;D

Rules, Guidelines

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 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 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.

If anyone else does a wishlist, let me know where it is and maybe I can help out in return :D
