What are some of the ways that you can express the joy associated with the particular holiday you choose? Are there particular memories that make this holiday special? Maybe there are certain rituals that your family did, or continues to do around this time. You can try to describe some of this.
The writing may take the form of a poem, and can be a jumping off point for a longer story. Remember that you can strengthen your writing by using figures of speech such as similes, metaphors, and hyperbole. The poem might act as a clue for what’s to follow in your story by setting up a mood. Your poem can use whatever form you’re comfortable with.

Christmas by EIn this joyous time of year
A tear
Falls from your cheek
As the old and the meek
Gather peacefully in the center of town
And look into the brown
Of an old tree’s bark
And sing ’till the old start to cough and hark
And when the shining stars twinkle
And the leaves start to crinkle
Under your feet
It means that justice and joy are no giant feat
Because the joyous time is near
At the end of the year.
