When he was a boy, he wished he was a paladin, a warrior of light who strode in great beats of wings across the world, a bringer of peace, a bringer of hope.

But then he grew up. He settled for being a peace keeper.


Things were different now.

He returned to the dreams of his childhood, and he wrote:

I wish I was a paladin, a warrior of light, with wings made of the sky.

Bring hope with me, donate your unneeded goods to the needy.

Edward had only just returned home after a long time away. Too long perhaps. So many holidays and celebrations he had missed. He wondered if anyone had missed him or even remembered him still. No matter. He would find out soon enough.

What should he wish for, he thought, as he gazed up at the piece of parchment that someone had stuck to a pole near the train station that would take him into the city. There were so many things worthy of a wish.

Peace for those who had never known peace. Joy for those who were joyless. Love and laughter and an end to loneliness for those who were lonely. If there was one thing he had learned during his time away, it was that he could not save them all, but if everyone did a little bit to make life better for those less fortunate than themselves, then the world just might be a happier place.

He sighed as he tore a piece of paper from the notebook he always carried and put pen to paper. Today, just this once, he wished for something entirely personal, entirely selfish.

"I wish for my family to welcome me home with open arms and hearts, and for once, to try and understand why I went away at all."

He added a small line to the bottom in small print so that the donation that was being made along with his wish would make it to the right place: The Rhy'Din Orphanage.

A small scroll secured with a red satin ribbon holds Shy's desire for others. The rolled parchment receives a tender kiss before it is adeptly tossed into The Yule Bonfire of Wishes.

Her chosen charity is The Widow's Fund.

I wish that e'ery individual, nei matter their age, finds an oasis of joy during the darkest of dags; that one refuge of happiness that will see them through troubled times!

Her scrawling writing was still looking ragged, but soon the little dragoness left her wish.

I wish for peace for all.

Knowing nothing of her past, beyond the last few days, a wish could make things right for her again....She scribbled 4 words....

I wish to remember

Folding it more times than she cared to count...she released it from her grip and slipped away.

Abby leaves a little note wrapped 'round a small, festively painted rock.

My wish is for everyone to get what is coming to them this Christmas..and by everyone I mean you, carolers. That fruitcake was first warning, next time it will be coal.

Robyn was doing last minute gifts, just scanning for small items that would bring smiles to family and friends when she found the wishing area. For a brief moment she thought she caught sight of familiar faces in the crowd but could not reach them before they melted back into the masses.

Glancing over to where Shon'ge was buying some hot apple cider then toward the fire, she had everything she wanted but she wasn't the only one in the world so she wrote a quick wish out and proceeded to burn in the flames.

I wish that all figure out what it is they really need for happiness, and achieve it.

The sweet old lady writes her wish on a florist card and throws it into the fire.
