My suggestions on how to come up with the story ideas have generated interest. Right after Christmas is an excellent place to start looking for story ideas. Start with yourself; remember the old adage of writing about what you know. What thing had you wished for in past Christmases but did not get? What was the worst gift you got from a family member, but you knew you had to send a warm thank you? What was the most significant surprise gift you ever got, and why was it such a surprise?
These are just a few ideas about Christmas presents, good and bad.
