In some darker retellings of the Christmas Carol, Scrooge's initial behavior towards Bob Cratchit could be seen as a form of abuse. He underpaid him and was very harsh and dismissive, which is a kind of workplace abuse in the context of a Christmas story.
There could be a story where a jealous sibling ruins the Christmas for the other by hiding or destroying their presents. This act of destroying someone else's joy during Christmas can be considered a form of abuse. It's not physical or always obvious, but it's a mean - spirited action that takes away the positive experience of Christmas from another person in the story.
One example could be a spin - off centered around the department store Santa from the original story. It could show his life outside of the Santa gig during the rest of the year. Another might be a story about the hound dogs that were briefly in the original, perhaps following their adventures in the town. There could also be a spin - off that focuses on the local radio station that played Christmas music in the background of the original story, and how they prepare for the holiday season each year.
One of the most famous Linus quotes related to Christmas is 'For behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

Sure. One example could be a family that always decorates the Christmas tree together in a very unique way. They have special ornaments that they've collected over the years and each year they add a new one, which becomes part of the Christmas story.

Sure. An example could be the story of how Christmas carols came to be. They are a big part of Christmas now, but there's a whole history behind them.

Examples of setting mistakes in a Christmas story? Well, let's say the story is set in the North Pole where Santa's workshop is supposed to be. But it describes the environment as being really warm and having tropical plants, which is completely wrong. Another example could be if the story is set during a Christmas market in a certain city, but it misrepresents the types of stalls and the goods sold there. It might also be a mistake if the story is set in a rural area during Christmas and shows no sign of the traditional rural Christmas activities like caroling from house to house or making homemade Christmas treats, which are often associated with such settings.
