Tezzeret's Displeasure3UB
Artifact Enchantment - Aura
Enchant artifact
If you control enchanted artifact it has "t: Put a charge counter on target artifact."
If one of your opponents controls enchanted artifact, it has "t: Sacrifice this card. This effect must be triggered if able during each of your end steps."
IIW: cards that create 1/1 Black soldier tokens
I'm pretty sure it's meant to be worded "If an opponent controls enchanted artifact, it has "At the beginning of your end step, sacrifice this artifact.""
At any rate, this is a... confusing thing. Why is it an artifact as well as an enchantment? I'm pretty sure that Tezzeret, Agent of Cups isn't so enamoured with his cups that even his thoughts are artifacts. I don't see what relation it has to Tezz, either, besides being an artifact. Second, it's... weak. It's either a 5 mana delayed artifact removal spell, or a 5 mana thing that makes your artifacts put charge counters on each other. Both of them are pretty bad, but the first ability is just so weak... :| It could easily be 3 mana. Finally, the card just has no semblance of being a card. The two abilities could easily be on separate cards and it looks like you kinda just mashed them together. I don't see what the flavour is or where it's coming from, besides the very bold name "Tezzeret" stuck there.
You said to design a HOLIDAY card, then specified that they have traditionally been christmas-related. Still there are other holidays around the same time... Hanukkah, Festivus, Kwanza, etc... Just b/c WotC hasn't focused on these with a card, doesn't DQ then as "holiday cards"
*sigh*
An original aura.hrm...
Willing Martyr1WW
Enchantment - Aura (U)
Enchant creature you control
Enchanted creature has martyr. (If a creature you control would be destroyed from lethal damage, you may sacrifice ~ to remove all damage from that creature.)
IIW: The Final Countdown
This wording is confusing me. "You may sacrifice ~" makes it sound as if it's totem armor for everyone. But that doesn't make sense with the enchanted creature getting martyr. Do you sac the enchanted creature or the enchantment? If it's the enchantment, why is it an enchantment at all? You really didn't need to mechanicise an ability that has nothing to do with the aura.
Holy AuguryW
Enchantment - Aura (C)
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets +1/+2.
Manifest 1W (1W, exile this card from your hand: Put a 0/0 colorless Elemental creature token onto the battlefield, then put this card onto the battlefield attached to that token. Manifest only as a sorcery.)
IIW: siggy
Why does manifest need to exile? Just "1W: Put a 0/0 colorless Elemental creature token onto the battlefield, then put this card onto the battlefield from your hand attached to that token" should work, should it not?
Besides that, I can't really complain, can I? It's pretty simple idea that has no problems, really. That said, it's also not really original, considering the 'obvious' design space is inherently not the 'original' design space.
Controlled Madness1RW
Enchantment - Aura U
Enchant creature
Enchanted creatures can't attack you and attack each turn if able.
Oho, I like this. In limited, it's just a mini-Pacifism, and it's just that in normal constructed. In multiplayer though, it turns a dangerous creature into a harmless minion. Stick this thing onto a Blightsteel and watch as it just swings in on the next most dangerous guy. I like it.
OG Aura1B Enchantment - Aura
The enchanted creature is an OG in addition to it's other types. (You don't **** with OGs.)
Enchanted creature has intimidate and is black.
****ing isn't a rules term, so this is ridiculously underpowered.
Aura ReflectionUU
Enchantment - Aura (U)
Choose an Aura on the battlefield. You may have Aura Reflection enter the battlefield as a copy of that Aura. In addition it has the following ability "U: Return Aura Reflection to it's owners hand."
The wording should solve any targeting issues stemming from the difference between enchant player/opponent/permanent.. etc..
This should just use the Clone wording, because it's actually functionally identical. Targetting issues don't occur because this doesn't target anyway. When you pick something, it'll enter the battlefield as a copy of it and be attached to any legal target of your choice. Note that it does bypass shroud. Besides that, it's... uh... relatively interesting, I guess. Not that original considering Copy Artifact/Enchantment already exist, but the returning ability is pretty sweet because it now survives Aura syndrome! Actually, it's the absolutest survivor of Aura syndrome because you can't tell what it'll enchant until it enchants it. Nice.
The winner is Rudyard, with his surprisingly unoriginal original card. Which means there is no challenge right now. Sad face.

That was meant to be the reminder text for the martyr keyword. Sorry for the confusion. Basically, if a creature you control is about to die from lethal damage, you can sac the martyr creature to save it.

Like I said, I can only go by my own experience, which is now 18 years. Kind of disheartening when you think you know something and you find out that you're a notch below a low grade moron.
This effect shows up from time to time on this forum. It doesn't do much, but it doesn't do nothing. It sorta counters counter-spells, for example. It's still small enough of an effect to only cost U and maybe even cantrip.
EarthforceGGG Enchantment
Artifacts are basic forests instead.
Hey, that's pretty cool. Sadly, I don't think being Forests shuts down their abilities. The artifacts won't be artifacts anymore but will still otherwise function the same as they were before.

Lake of Knowledge enters the battlefield tapped.

Aurific Boost2WW
Enchantment (R)
Whenever an enchantment card is put into your graveyard from anywhere, you may draw a card.
Sacrifice ~: the next enchantment spell you play costs 1 less to play for each enchantment card in your graveyard.
Femeref Enchantress-esque enchantment. The second part might be confusing for players since the price reduction won't change later on the turn even if more enchantments are buried later in the turn, its set at the moment. Though, of course, Aurific Boost itself will count.
Instead of reducing a future cost, it could also be written as a production of mana that can only be spent on enchantment spells. It's a minor detail, but generally I'd like it better that way.

Seriously though, you could have said "Artifact, enchantments and lands you control have..." Whatever. Punk.
I very much like this.
...
Ok, so, every entry was pleasing. This is going to be quite difficult to decide a winner.
My favorite three are Winterspring's Fluorescent Resonance, Prophylaxis' Lake of Knowledge and Summon_Legend's Eremitic Handbell. Also, Trapped Hawk's Bond Sever was excellent.
Um...
Damn, I dunno...
Winterspring wins for its enjoyable details: Entering tapped, the name, the color-tension.
Lake of Knowledge I'd just love to play, it's totally printable and feels really good. Bond Sever is fair for land-hate and quite printable. Eremitic Handbell was the most fascinating.
