Build a Christmas tree contest: DEADLINE DEC. 19
In honor of how Tolkien symbolized trees in his work, I had an idea for a holiday contest. It would be building your own Christmas tree through typing. (Example: like how JD makes his birthday cakes. Refer to the Happy Birthday thread for examples.)
This thread is to see who may be interested and to get any ideas on what the prize may be. I figure there would be a deadline and the mods would be the judges. So in the spirit of Christmas and Tolkien this may be a fun way to celebrate the holidays and Tolkien together. .... and who knows what prize may lie in the end. So anyone that may be interested or have any suggestions, please leave your thoughts.

I was thinking as for a prize, maybe a custom title. And for those that already have one, maybe being a mod for a day. Whatcha think SGH? Any other suggestions out there? (I mean realistic, doable ones )
