The morning Kiddush on Shabbat and holidays consists of one or more Torah verses followed by the blessing on the wine (or perhaps other beverage). I have seen in print and in practice various different customs for how many and which verses to recite on different days. For example, I've seen Shabbat customs ranging from just "Zachor et yom hashabat lekadesho." up to multiple paragraphs.
Where do the various customs for verse choices come from?
May an individual choose which custom to follow on a given occasion?
May an individual choose any verses [s]he feels are appropriate, even if there isn't an existing custom of using those verses?
Are Shabbat and holidays treated differently for these rules?
