Holidailies is offering a optional writing prompts, in case you need some inspiration. We've asked Holidailies participants to send us their suggestions. We'll post selected prompts throughout the month of Holidailies.

Would you like to help us brainstorm ideas? Send us your writing prompt suggestions and if we use them we'll include a link to your website. We prefer prompts that inspire people to tell stories as opposed to simply compiling lists. Email your topic ideas to . Include the title and URL for your website.

For example:

I'd like to suggest the following topic: "Tell us about your favorite holiday season movie." My website is Celluloid Eyes at www.celluloideyes.com.
