Not sure if I'm in the mood right now. My grandma just died of a brain tumor last Friday (at age 92 - we weren't expecting THAT diagnosis from the hospital back in July), and the viewing / funeral / burial is today. At least she was able to see her son, if not her Hong Kong grandchildren... :(

[mistressemi.livejournal.com]

I am so sorry for your loss.

[skjam.livejournal.com]

I am excited as usual for this, though my own contributions may be few this year. I have an exciting opportunity to find a new job.

[didu.livejournal.com]

Ahh, great news! Just bought cards and stickers today!

[thumbelinablues.livejournal.com]

Hiiiiii, Didu! I recognize you every year by your awesome icon. :-)

I've been stocking up slowly on cards and stamps. Need the distraction right now :( me + my friends are currently big news in Victoria thanks to a restaurant refusing our guide dogs, and there are so many ignorant comments *sighs*

[ladyiapetus]

Oi vey. (Icon is directed at the ignorant comments, not you)

[ladyiapetus]

Oh boy, can't wait!

[snow-white.livejournal.com]

So excited for this! Been saving little bits and pieces in a box set aside for this comm...

[evilvillan-1.livejournal.com]

Hrmmmmmmmmmmm... I'm sort of excited, not gonna lie. Now I have to figure out what to wish for, and what I'm able to actually give to others this year! (I normally do primarily cards...)

[green-wing.livejournal.com]

\o/ I've been adding to my wishlist all year waiting for this moment *yay* :D

I can't wait to start granting other peoples wishes *bounces* :D

[mommy-to-nico.livejournal.com]

yay i can't wait to send some packages out woot!

[dilerius.livejournal.com]

Yay \o/ I can't wait to start reading peoples wish lists and start sending out whatever I can!!
I've been looking forward to the opening of this comm for the year for forever it feels like :P

DRIVE-BY FANDOM LOVE



(how sad is it that before I ever read the caption, I knew who those people were?)

[jeepgirl77.livejournal.com]

Really looking forward to this! I've got cards and stamps and am hoping I'm able to grant some wishes this year!

[skjam.livejournal.com]

Also, as those of you who've been here before know, my primary gift each year is a mix CD. So, any thoughts on which of these possibilities you'd like to see?

1. "Music With Rocks In"--geology-themed songs.

2. "The Blue Lantern's Light"--Songs about hope.

3. "The World Is Always Ending"--A tribute to 2012's upcoming day or reckoning.

[didu.livejournal.com]

These are all pretty great but can't choose just one! How about using songs from all three for a hope-filled geological apocalypse? No? Just me then :D

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

I am so excited for this! I've been saving tidbits and saving up for postage all year.

[theloriest.livejournal.com]

Hey, I have a great idea! Let's get together when I get home and pour through posts together? You may have already been keeping up, but it'll be fun to have someone to geek out with about how much fun this community is.

[memoryanddream.livejournal.com]

OMG! It just dawned on me that now it's November, it's HOLIDAY WISHES time again! Yay!!

This year, I'm NOT mourning the death of my best friend (2010), and NOT recovering from major surgery (2011) so dammit, hopefully, I can be happier this year. LOL I mean, I still sent like 45 cards or something last year anyway, but still. I am hoping for a much more cheerful holiday season in 2012.

[green-wing.livejournal.com]

*yay* for a happier year! Our end of year was pretty sad because we had to put our kitty down and our xmas never quite recovered, but this year, I have a new kitty for the first time in 12 years and we can be happy and celebrate her first xmas :)

Happy year-ends all round *hugs*

[punkgirl28.livejournal.com]

I am so excited about posting my wishlist and definitely granting some wishes this year. It has been a tough year for me as I just lost my mom in July, but I am staying positive and hopeful that the holidays will be wonderful. Happy Holidays everyone!

[kinston.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited for my 4th year being a part of this amazing community! Looking forward to sending & receiving gifts again in 2012.

[arizonaicerose.livejournal.com]

Ah now I gotta go buy cards because I know I'm gonna wanna send those.

For some reason I'm strangly happy for this. Must get music uploaded and other stuff started for this!

[technicolornina.livejournal.com]

SAME HERE. I knew there was a reason Kroger gave me that "buy holiday cards, save money on soy milk" (what the--?) coupon!

[ghost-light.livejournal.com]

Yay! I was just thinking about this today!

[nothingtoyou.livejournal.com]

Over the last few years this community has made my holiday season vastly better. I LOVE granting wishes. I love receiving small gifts from all over the world. And most of all I love the people that I have met here. I've made so many friends here over the years - real life and online - and I hope I will make many more. Let the wish-granting commence!

[claudia-vice.livejournal.com]

OH MAN that's so soon! :0 I will be participating as much as possible, as per usual.

[tarzanic.livejournal.com]

YAY! Thanks to the mods for all of their hard work and thanks to everyone for making this such a fun experience year after year!

[x-bethanyy.livejournal.com]

Can't wait!

[recycled-wings.livejournal.com]

Yaaaay! Holiday Wishes time!
I missed out last year due to being in a bit of a rough spot and starting a new job.

But this year, I'M TOTALLY IN! I can't wait! I look forward to this every year. :D

[arizonaicerose.livejournal.com]

It's getting closer! *dances around* I'm so excited to start looking and seeing what I can do! :D

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I have been waiting for this! Though my contributions may be weak this year, I lost my job at the end of October and it's not easy finding something new in my field, so I plan on going back to school. Lots of stuff going on and I am broke :/

But hopefully I can fulfill some wishes anyway! This group always makes my holiday season even more awesome.
