Describe a haunted Christmas house and the spirits that dwell there, instead of a typical Santa Claus visit.

Ghosts and Christmas aren’t typically paired together, but that doesn’t mean they can’t mix in a spooky holiday-themed narrative. Imagine a house haunted by Christmas spirits—perhaps lost souls, previous inhabitants, or beings tied to the holiday—instead of a visit from jolly Saint Nick. Fill the house with eerie festive sights, explore the stories of these spirits, and ponder the context that led them to haunt the house during this season. This prompt invites explorations into the idea of tradition, the passage of time, and the sometimes spectral quality of memory.
