December is a slow month for blogging.
So many of us are busy with shopping and baking and traveling and going crazy with kids that we barely have time to update our blogs with the our brilliance. Fret not.
I have a list of easy holiday inspired writing prompts to last you through the month of December. Simply choose a prompt that strikes your fancy and get to work!
You’re welcome to leave a link to any post you create using the following writing prompts on the SITS Facebook page:
- Baking cookies with kids.
- A most memorable Christmas.
- The best gift youโve ever gotten and why?
- Favorite holiday song.
- Bah Humbug. Describe why you are just not into the holidays this year.
- Gift giving on a budget…Share you saving secrets!
- A favorite family tradition.
- If you could only wish for one thing this Christmas, what would you wish for?
- Write a poem about what Christmas means to you.
- Describe the moment you stopped believing in Santa Claus.
- Your favorite homemade gifts!
- Holiday guide: A comprehensive list of your purchases (or desired purchases) this Christmas.
- Share a fun Santa photo!
- A gift to remember.
- Someone you miss.
- A Christmas you’d rather forget.
- Who would you like to find under the mistletoe this year?
- Share some of your favorite Christmas ornaments.
- List your 10 holiday pet peeves.
- In what ways would you like 2011 to be different than 2010?
Good luck keeping those creative juices flowing through the remainder of this busy holiday season!

I’m a little late to do most of the holiday posts, but I loved the 2011 vs 2010 idea. Thanks for the inspiration!
Looking forward to seeing what you ladies have in store for January and the new launch! Nina

Happy New Year everyone…I feel very good about this one! ๐
My post doesn’t necessarily fit the prompts – but its a new post for a New Year.
Happy New Year!
These are awesome and I love that you ended it “goof luck”. I am glad I am not the only one that does that =P
sweet list of ideas * gracias!
Great Ideas!!
Can’t wait to get the creative juices flowing!
Thanks for the writing prompts! Sometimes it is helpful to get the ol brain in gear. I am really loving thinking about what the New Year means this time around! New beginnings!
A little late in responding but great prompts, I should have visited yesterday when I had total writers block! Hope you all had great holidays!
Thank you for the writing prompt. It’s a story I’ve kept to myself for so many years and have now shared on my other blog. My Band of Angels – Christmas – 24 Years Ago. http://bit.ly/gybUnH on
Great writing prompt ideas! Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays to all the SITS girls!!!
Best,
Gloria
Thanks for the great list, Kat! :>
Great ideas! I did one and am linking up ๐ Hope everyone had a great holiday!
Write about your favorite christmas vacation!
Your posting is abslotuley on the point!
I”ve actually had MORE to blog about this month…we’ve been really busy and the blog is an outlet for me to let out the overflow of emotions that hit me. I do appreciate the writing prompts, I might use one or two in between frantic “I’m going crazy!” posts ๐
Love prompts! I finally wrote about a Christmas tradition. Here it is….

These are great! I’ve been writing sporadically on my blog lately and really want to get back into things!
Can’t believe how quickly the 25th is approaching…I’ve been a little behind in my SITS reading…but wanted to check in and hope everyone’s week is going well!
happy SITS day!!
I’ve been ok with writing my own blog, but what I’ve really been finding it hard to do is read all my favorites. It’s been sporadic at best. But I’m trying to work my way back and catch up.
bookmarking this list! THanks this is so great!
I want to start a Monday memories post. ๐
Great list! With me having been out of town for the past month, my blog is feeling pretty neglected…but I have not felt the writing inspiration since I got home. This list will be a good place to get started and get those creative words flowing again!
Great prompts, I’m definitely coming back to this list next time I’m stuck.
Thanks for the ideas! I have totally had a tough time keeping up this month (and November for that matter). The ideas always help!
Thanks much for the writing prompts…like those and have another couple of prompts you might like to add: holiday travel tips for packages and gifts, holiday traditions, holiday games for kids and/or adults
Just thought I’d throw my ideas into the mix, too.
this is an awesome idea! I have it book marked for when I’m out of ideas
Thanks for the ideas!
I agree that DEC is a slow blogging month. But all of you are all doing holiday stuffs. Me, on the other hand, have been playing the Warcraft expansion that came out last week xD
I hereby declare that my excuse for not blogging is better then yours!! LMAO
Love this, t hank you for such wonderful ideas for this slow season.
Every Monday this month I’m doing a Memories of Christmas post. Feel free to join me and link up!
I don’t understand #10…Why would I stop believing in Santa Claus? Haven’t you ever seen Miracle on 34th Street!?
I can’t believe Christmas is only a week away!
Great ideas! I have an offer for readers today that I wanted to be sure and pass along. Stop by if you have time. No, wait. Stop by anyway.
It is a quiet month, but it’s also full of beautiful and creative posts, which makes me happy ๐
I know a lot of you are mothers. Spare a moment, please as you read this to pray for the little ones currently being held hostage in a French nursery.
