Everybody likes games, right? And for writers, writing prompts are kind of like that. A creative challenge with an outline.
Songs tell stories of their own, or deliver a message of some kind--especially holiday songs. Christmas songs in particular tend to tell stories. Lots of them are about Christ's birth, painting pictures of that wonderful and monumental night, and other songs are about different and often modern-day topics. Like "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," "Rudolph The Red-nosed Reindeer" (admit it, you know the lyrics by heart :)), and "All I Want For Christmas Is You."
With those kind of songs, it could be really fun to try to think up and write a story based off of it. It's just like a game, a writing challenge!
What kind of story would you write based off of, say, "Last Christmas" or "Jingle Bells?"
