One main element is often comical characters. For example, a bumbling Santa who can't find his way down the chimney easily. Another element is unexpected situations like the reindeer who decides to take a detour on Christmas Eve and ends up at the wrong house. And of course, a touch of holiday magic that adds to the fun. For instance, a snowman that comes to life and starts dancing around the Christmas tree.
One funny Christmas bedtime story is about a clumsy elf named Bobo. Bobo was in charge of wrapping presents but kept getting tangled in the ribbons. Every time he tried to cut a piece of ribbon, he would end up wrapping it around himself instead. His little elf friends would laugh and then help him out, and in the end, they all had a great laugh together while still getting all the presents wrapped on time for Christmas.
One of the best Christmas bedtime stories is 'The Night Before Christmas'. It tells about Santa's visit on Christmas Eve in a very vivid and exciting way. The rhyming words make it easy to read aloud and the detailed description of Santa, his reindeer, and the presents creates a magical Christmas atmosphere for kids.
