What kind of story can you create using this picture? Can you write it in different genres? Maybe something magical happens? Or maybe extra-terrestrials crash the party. Or maybe there’s a monster/killer on the loose who is killing the party’s guests. Or maybe it’s a romance. It could even be a party in the Old West, or sometime in history’s past in another country. You’re only limited by your imagination.

What fantastical holiday story can you come up with starring these nutcrackers? Where do they live? What is their purpose? How does “life” change for them during this time of the year? What kind of villain(s) can you come up with for them to face? Be sure to make the obstacles realistic. Even though the story might be a fantasy, it still needs to feel as if it could happen within the world you’ve created. You can ensure this with careful planning. Even a few details (for a short story) can make all the difference.
