I love listening or reading good Christmas stories.
Each story written has its own unique and personal touch and it is the author’s choice to make it special.
Personalising your Christmas story can be fun depending on the details.
A nice Christmas story brings families together, but getting the children involved can add great value to your story because children can be very creative.

It can be a funny story about fun at work, funny people in general, aging gracefully or an inspiring story.
Writing about aging gracefully with the input of children can be an inspiring challenge.
Aging gracefully is about enjoying life and you can probably start by thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don’t hurt.
Agatha Christie knew about aging gracefully when she said: “An archeologist is the best husband any woman can have: the older she gets, the more interested he is in her.”
If you choose to write about funny people, consider the funny things they say and do.
How many times do we repeat a story because we fell over laughing the first time we heard it?
I have always enjoyed reading the stories of funny people.
And what about life’s most embarrassing moments?
Another subject that might inspire your wonderful story, is funny and inspiring children.
The insight of a child, the questions, ponderings and ideas can be a source of inspiration.
Remember children look at the world through exciting, gentle eyes.
Sure, they are naive but their attitude describes things best.
They also often say the most funny or inspiring things.
At times, the stories around children bring tears and touch us in unexpected ways.
Enjoying the Christmas spirit, holiday fun and encouragement are other great topics to write about.
Christmas is a time filled with family fun. It is a celebration of the birth of Christ and a whole lot of activity.
It also leads to funny and inspirational Christmas stories.
Write down your random thoughts and get started – pen your story and read it to your grandchildren.
They will all have fun listening to your great adventures and motivating stories.
