Courtesy Pattern : CP53 - 12 Days of Christmas 2018 (Harry Potter Theme)

"... the Golden Snitch, and it's the most important ball of the lot. It's very hard to catch because it's so fast and difficult to see. It's the Seeker's job to catch it. You've got to weave in and out of the Chasers, Beaters, Bludgers, and Quaffle to get it before the other team's Seeker, because whichever Seeker catches the Snitch wins his team an extra hundred and fifty points, so they nearly always win. 
That's why Seekers get fouled so much. A game of Quidditch only ends when the Snitch is caught, so it can go on for ages "
~Oliver Wood

And you can't very well celebrate the Harry Potter series, without recognizing the wizarding world's most favorite sport - Quidditch!
besides, a Snitch makes the perfect bobble on your Christmas Tree!
