Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Seren!

As some of you know, CWHR means a lot to me, and has helped me a lot over the years. And I've met such wonderful friends here, and to demonstrate my love for horses, CWHR, and to all of you, I'd like to help make a few Christmas Wishes come true. :3

Every Gift
- Unique-colored Horse
- Mane/Tail/Feather Edits
- Festive Halter
- Unique Ornament
- Ribbon (The Ribbon is yours to design- pattern, certain colors, or it can say something! :3)
- Something Special!

Staff Gifts
- Everything Above
- Christmas Tack
- A little Extra.... Something ;3
- Free Breeding w/ Christmas Horse

However, I want you all to put a little effort into these gift forms, and I'd like you to note that, as you request a gift, you make sure that you won't just ditch the gift, and take care of it. :3 All the gifts will remained wrapped until Christmas eve, and if I lack the time to finish them all, I'll post unwrapped ones after Christmas. I'll try to get them all done by January 1st.

Write a nice note to someone at CWHR, or someone/some animal you care about: like many others, i'm fully intending to do every staff members and a few friends as well. forgive the length, i'm trying for a paragraph for everyone xD

teresa8oats
Oh goodness, our loyal leader here in the army of CWHR. xD So many good things to say about you! Starting with how you gave me a breeding from your precious Prominence is only the beginning. Besides creating Frag Bomb, my first official CWHR horse, you've helped me so much. You do everything for this community- doing this christmas raffle event, managing us so well, everything. While I may not be as close to you as a lot of people probably are, I know you're an incredibly kind person and you do love this community with all of your heart. We love you too, teresa! If I could give you 100 gifts for Christmas, I would- I would for everyone here! But since I'm still human, I can only wish you a very merry Christmas and hope you have a wonderful holiday. You've earned it.

SerenWish
Oh, Seren. Where do I even start? Where can I possibly start? You're quite possibly my earliest friend on this website, we've been chatting ever since my account was two months old. Right away you took me under your wing, acting as my newbie mentor without ever being asked to do such. When I really got into Whip-Tailed Equines, you were right there with me, helping me with my forms and cheering me up when I was down about losing. You listened- and still listen- to my ranting when I'm upset or just needing to vent, and I'm honored to say that I was the same for you. I still remember once when you had a bad day, but you were still there trying to cheer me up. I celebrated your birthday despite being hundreds of miles away from you and that wasn't even this year, but the one before. Though we did grow apart once I kind of left WTEs, I still thought of you as one of my best friends. Yet you've remained here, and this year's Mustang Makeover, I really got into CWHR and once again you've welcomed me with open arms. Now I hope you consider me again one of your friens as I do you, and words can't describe how happy I am that we've reconnected. I honestly have no idea how to possibly give you a gift that can express how grateful I am for everything, but here you are, gifting me instead again.

Thank you so much, Seren. Again, I can't possibly thank you enough, but I hope this sums up enough. <3333

preppy paws
Hey, preppy! I only began to consider us friends {or even really acquaintances} a short while ago, but I've admired your art skills for a long, loooong time. I do know that you're super active around the Tolter fanclub and totally in love with your WMEs! While I might know you better from these places, you're a great person here at CWHR too. Your edits are always fantastic and your dedication unwavering. I probably admire you more than you think we're friends and this might seem awkward {jesus i'm an awkward person anyway} but I do think you're a lovely person and I wish I knew you better!

ty_tay
Again, don't know you quite as well- but hey that's no reason not to be grateful! Just as with preppy, I'm completely in love with your art style and you are INCREDIBLE with edits and tack here at CWHR! Your WMEs are as beautiful as the designs you make, hnn, and I know you love them. In fact I probably also know you better from WMEs, since I've been there longer, but you're a great person around here as well! I just really wish I knew you better, I need more nice things to say. D: Have a very merry Christmas!

I will be doing one of each, someone at CWHR, someone I care about, and also an animal I care about.

SerenWish:
Seren, you are such a kind person and I'm pretty sure most of my horses have actually been created by you. You do such an amazing job here at CWHR and I've talked to you a little while back. I am glad you are an artist here and I couldn't thank you enough for all the effort and heart you put into your designs. I have loved every horse you have designed for me and one of these days I'll have to repay you for your generosity!

Mom:
Mom, you have been my biggest role model and I couldn't have a better mother to raise me to the woman I am today. I know throughout the years we have our disagreements and I have been a pain in the butt but I still love you in the end. You are kind and love animals so much and that's probably where I get my love for animals as well. You never have made me feel unloved and you are also my best friend, I know I'm getting older but I will always be there to talk with you about anything. I love you so much mom! Thank you for being there.

My First Horse:
Linka, I know it's been awhile since you have passed away but thank you for being my friend when no one else was there for me. You taught me how to love horses and not be afraid to hop back in the saddle once again. You taught be how to be brave and ride you bareback while you were running full speed. I am so thankful to have had you in my life when I did because you were an amazing horse that made me so happy when I was younger and still do when I think about all the time we shared. Thank you for all the wonderful memories my beautiful white Arabian horse I'll never forget you or our friendship.

Dear Teresa and Seren,

Thank you for always being so patient and understanding. You guys are always so nice. Teresa, you are amazing kind. I remember when you gifted my Quincy. I was so overjoyed and excited. No one had ever gifted me before. You really made my day. You have done so many other kind things. Seren, thank you for being so kind and patient with me. You know I'm a coppa member and have always been understanding of that. You you such a nice person. I hope I can become as talented as you guys one day.

I know you can't stand gifts or compliments but you have brought this upon yourself! <3
When I came to Cottonwood, I was very new to Chicken Smoothie itself and my only friend was the person who had introduced me to the website itself. I was pretty shy and a very nervous of messing anything up and looking like a fool; of course I did anyway. I was terrible at horse colors, markings, and especially heights, so when I received a message about the custom I had submitted I freaked out. Although, after reading it, I felt better and knew I had someone to help me learn. As time went by, I had grown to know just about everything relating to horse heights and markings from you. You even became my go to person when it came to just needing someone to talk to, plus, you've made many of my Cottonwood horses, and have just been the most amazing friend! I have been left in the dust by so many people in my life that having you by my side makes all that pain and sadness just disappear. I love everyone here at Cottonwood but I wouldn't be the person I am now if it hadn't been for you lending me a hand in the very beginning.
