Welcome to December 1st, 2022! Have you rummaged through the attic, basement, or storage for holiday decorations already? We know we have. Let's move forward with this festive season with a contest. 

1 — One day, you noticed a package sitting outside your door. You open it to see a snow globe along with a note reading 'Shake and the Magic of Christmas will appear'. Skeptical, you shake it and an elf appears.

2 — You're sitting in front of the Christmas tree with gifts you've bought and wrapped for yourself when you hear the doorbell ring. When you answer it, you see the last person you ever expected to see.

3 — Christmas is a time of joy and celebration, but accidents do happen. Write about a Christmas accident that left you stronger and more affectionate about the holiday.

4 — Myth says that writing your wish on a piece of paper and covering it with snow and a white flower will send your letter to Santa. Curious about the legitimacy of the myth, you decide to join in with your friends, but as the jokester of the group, you wished for the season to change every 6 hours on the day of Christmas.

Poetry 1 — Write a piece with the theme First Snowfall

Poetry 2 — Write a piece with the theme Magic of Christmas
