Christmas/Holiday-Related Writing Ideas Write a Christmas Alphabet book. You can try to make it rhyme, or it doesn’t have to! For example, “A is for the angel, on top of the Christmas tree.” “B is for how busy we always seem to be.” Rewrite the words to “The Twelve Days of Christmas”, “’Twas The Night Before Christmas” or one of your favourite Christmas carols. Use one of the ideas below to write a story/narrative/letter: The snow was falling on Christmas Eve, and we heard some bells in the distance… The presents were all wrapped in pretty bows, except one... The children were asleep on Christmas Eve when... It was an icy evening and I just had a funny feeling... One cold morning, Santa began to... Rudolph was ready to help Santa when.... “The toys are all gone,” cried the elves... It was beginning to look like the strangest Christmas ever. The candy canes were hanging from the tree when they started to... Dear Family, my Christmas wish for you is.... Christmas is a time to... My family always likes to... My favorite Christmas memory is... It is a tradition in my family to... If I had one wish for Christmas, it would be... I love to give to others because... If I could give the world a gift at Christmas, it would be.... The first Christmas I remember was... I love the holidays because... The best thing about Christmas is… My vacation at the North Pole... Write another “Dear Santa, I can explain…” letter from the point of view of a fairy tale villain. Make a list of your New Year’s Resolutions for 2009. Write out a “Help Wanted” ad that Santa might write if he were searching for some extra elves to help out at the North Pole. Plan the ideal Christmas/New Year’s party. Record who you would invite, how you would decorate, what you would do, a menu of the food you would serve, etc. Write about the worst Christmas gift that you have ever received. Make a list of as many Christmas carols as you can remember. Extra Challenge: Put your list in alphabetical order! Create a “Top Ten” list of… * your best memories from 2008 * ways to spend your holidays * worst possible gifts to receive * your Christmas wishes * things you could do with a terrible gift * your own idea! Write out a set of instructions for “How to Build a Snowman”, or “How to Wrap a Present”, “How to Bake…”
