How do I create Holiday Cheer for my site member?

It depends on what you're good at. If you are good at writing, give them a one-shot, a drabble, or a poem about their favorite ship.

NAME YOU WANT ON YOUR GIFT: Bree
YOUR FAVORITE COLOR: Emerald

FAVORITE NON-HARRY POTTER BOOK: Impulse by Ellen Hopkins

FAVORITE TV SHOW: Oh wow...there are so many! A couple of my favorites (because I just can't choose): Criminal Minds, Glee, Rizzoli and Isles, Bones, Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural
FAVORITE MYSTICAL CREATURE: Phoenix, Sphinx or Unicorn
FAVORITE QUOTE (rated PG please): I have about a million...so I'm going to list a few.

"An essay is like a miniskirt: long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep things interesting."

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. & contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, & what it wouldn't be, it would. ( Alice In Wonderland )

"Because these moments, as beautiful as they are, are evil when they're gone."

Go ahead and fly. If I could choose a day to fly, I would choose this one.

"All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is."

"We're gonna need a blowtorch and some more peanut butter."

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."

"Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be defeated."

"I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life."

When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you are hoping for.

FAVORITE MOVIE: Dead Poet Society
FAVORITE HP MOVIE: Toss up between Order of the Phoenix and Deathly Hallows
NAME THREE OF YOUR OWN FANFICTION STORIES: Oh gosh...please note that these are REALLY old.

Cracks in the Crystal Ball (Note: This is an AU HP based off of a RPG)

FAVORITE QUOTE (rated PG please):

He smiled understandingly - much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced - or seemed to face - the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey. - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees. - Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
