December Writing Prompt: Winter Holiday Celebrations Through the Lens of Childhood
What It Means to You
A magical time for children, no matter your race, class, or religion: the month of December.
We have the holidays! Whatever you celebrate, be it Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, none of the above, New Year’s eve, etc.
We have the winter break! School’s out! If you live in a cold region — this could mean playing in the snow with friends. If you live in a warm region—this could mean hanging at the beach with friends.
We have family traditions! Year after year, it’s always the same. It seems goofy, but looking back — the memory makes you smile.
Our memoir prompt for December:
Tell an engaging story about a memory you hold dear (or maybe not so dear…perhaps it impacted your life in an important way) from the holiday season of your youth.
Be descriptive; color them in so your words pop like a movie in our minds.
Have fun! Can’t wait to see our “Holiday Season” posts roll in!
