Writing Prompts: Christmas Story Ideas

Do you want to write a Christmas-themed children's story?  Here are some ideas to help inspire you:

1.  A boy wakes up in the middle of the night and goes to discover that Santa has left presents, but the special homemade cookies he and his little sister left out for him were not eaten.  What if he hears a noise outside and chases after Santa to give him the cookies?  What if he hears his sister coming down the stairs and has to hide the cookies so she won't be disappointed too?   You decide what happens next.  

2.  On Christmas day, all the kids in town are crying because they all received coal in their stockings.  Some of the older children decide to travel to the North Pole and demand that Santa give proper gifts to the younger children.  When they get there, what do they find?  Do you think it was Santa who left the coal?  You decide what the answer is.

3.  A girl writes a letter to Santa asking for something that will make her popular at school.  When she wakes up, what do you think she finds in her stocking?  If it makes her popular, does her new-found popularity make her happy?
