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:

  1. Baking cookies with kids.
  2. A most memorable Christmas.
  3. The best gift you’ve ever gotten and why?
  4. Favorite holiday song.
  5. Bah Humbug. Describe why you are just not into the holidays this year.
  6. Gift giving on a budget…Share you saving secrets!
  7. A favorite family tradition.
  8. If you could only wish for one thing this Christmas, what would you wish for?
  9. Write a poem about what Christmas means to you.
  10. Describe the moment you stopped believing in Santa Claus.
  11. Your favorite homemade gifts!
  12. Holiday guide: A comprehensive list of your purchases (or desired purchases) this Christmas.
  13. Share a fun Santa photo!
  14. A gift to remember.
  15. Someone you miss.
  16. A Christmas you’d rather forget.
  17. Who would you like to find under the mistletoe this year?
  18. Share some of your favorite Christmas ornaments.
  19. List your 10 holiday pet peeves.
  20. 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!

    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!

    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 🙂

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    Every Monday this month I’m doing a Memories of Christmas post. Feel free to join me and link up!

  31. Lindsay says

    I don’t understand #10…Why would I stop believing in Santa Claus? Haven’t you ever seen Miracle on 34th Street!?

  33. Grammy says

    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.
