First, think about the elements that make a Christmas story special. It could be the magic of Christmas, the spirit of giving, or the family gatherings. Then, pick a character, like a lonely elf who is looking for a family to celebrate with. Or a reindeer that has lost its way and has an adventure while trying to find its herd. Build the story around this character and the Christmas elements. Don't worry too much about it being perfect at first. Just start writing and see where it takes you.
You could try drinking a warm cup of coffee or tea. The warmth might give you the energy boost you need to get up and start that Christmas story.
First, relax. A block in getting up a story often comes from stress. Then, start with a simple setting like a snowy Christmas Eve in a small town. Think about the characters that could be there, like a lonely old man or a group of excited children. Decide on a basic plot, like the children trying to bring some Christmas cheer to the old man. From there, you can gradually add more details, dialogue, and events to flesh out the story.
Maybe you could start by thinking about your favorite Christmas memories. They can be a great source of inspiration for a story. For example, if you remember a special Christmas gift or a family gathering, you can build a story around that.
Try to call for help loudly. Maybe someone nearby will hear you and come to assist.
Well, it could be that in the Christmas story, the person had a wild dream about flying with Santa's reindeer all night long and is now exhausted. So, they just need some time to fully wake up.
If this is part of a Christmas story, perhaps the character is feeling down on Christmas. It could be because they had a fight with a family member or friend. They should remember the spirit of Christmas and try to make amends. Then they'll surely find the energy to get up and join the celebration.
A good trick is to look at old Christmas stories or movies for inspiration. Notice how they start, what kind of characters they introduce at the beginning. Often, they begin with a character in a relatable situation, like a family getting ready for Christmas. You can also use real - life Christmas experiences you've had or heard about. For instance, if you remember a particularly special Christmas gift you received, you can use that as a starting point for a fictional story. Maybe the gift had some kind of magical quality that could be expanded upon in the story.
Could be that you were sick or injured in the story and physically couldn't get up. Or maybe there was a mystery or a challenge that needed to be solved before you could rise from bed.
It might be that there's an external force or obstacle in the Christmas story keeping you from getting up. Maybe it's a curse, or you were trapped in a strange situation.
Perhaps in this Christmas story, there was a magic spell cast on the bed by a mischievous elf. The elf didn't want anyone to get up early on Christmas morning because he had some special surprises to prepare. So the spell made it impossible for you to get up until he was done with his preparations. As a result, you're stuck in bed, unable to rise even though you might be eager to see what Christmas day has in store for you.
