I'm not sure if there are truly 'famous' ones in the pure sense of the term for'sick on Christmas' stories. But you could consider some adaptations of classic tales where the Christmas element is twisted. For instance, if you think of a version of 'The Nutcracker' where the Nutcracker has some dark and disturbing backstory that involves illness or some unseemly behavior during Christmas time, that could be a sort of'sick on Christmas' story, although it's not a traditional way of looking at it.
There could be a story where a magical car is found in an old barn on Christmas day. The car has the ability to fly and takes the main character on a journey to the North Pole to meet Santa. This kind of car would be very famous in the context of that particular Christmas story as it is the key to the adventure and the discovery of the magic of Christmas.
Yes, Tiny Tim from 'A Christmas Carol' is quite famous. He is a disabled boy in Dickens' story. His character represents the hope and kindness that should be part of the Christmas spirit.
Yes, there is 'A Christmas Carol' which in a way can be considered a 'black' Christmas story. Scrooge is a bitter old man who despises Christmas. He is visited by ghosts who show him his past, present, and future. It has elements of darkness like his loneliness and the potential future of death and no one caring if he's gone. But in the end, it has a redemptive aspect.
Well, a sick on Christmas story might be one where a town's Christmas celebration is marred by a strange and disturbing event. For instance, a beloved Christmas character in the town, like Santa Claus in their parade, turns out to be someone with malicious intentions. Or a story where the Christmas dinner has been poisoned by accident, causing chaos and illness among the family. There could also be a story about a Christmas spirit that is not the jolly kind but rather a malevolent one that makes people sick in a more supernatural sense.
I'm not aware of many directly 'Christmas impregnate' stories in mainstream literature. However, there could be some stories where a pregnancy is announced or discovered around Christmas time in some family - centered novels. For example, in some Victorian era novels that focus on family values and the Christmas spirit, a character might find out she is pregnant during the Christmas season which adds to the family's anticipation and joy.
Yes, there could be some. For example, there might be a story that has been passed down in a particular scout troop for generations. It could be about a scout who found a lost reindeer during a Christmas Eve hike and helped it get back to Santa. This story has become famous within that troop and is told every Christmas to inspire new scouts.
A classic example is 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens. Since it was published a long time ago, it is in the public domain in many countries, which means it can be considered royalty - free. It's a very famous Christmas story that has been adapted into countless plays, movies, and other forms of media.
In some local or less - known Christmas stories, there might be a dog named Rudolph (not to be confused with the reindeer). This dog might be a helpful character, perhaps guiding lost travelers during a Christmas - time snowstorm. It shows how dogs can be symbols of loyalty and helpfulness in Christmas stories.
One example could be 'A Christmas Carol' adaptation where Scrooge might be depicted as being driven around in a car in a modern retelling. Another could be a story where a family uses their car to go to a Christmas tree farm, and all the adventures that happen during that journey are part of the Christmas story.
One example could be 'A Christmas Carol' in a way. Although Tiny Tim doesn't die in the end, his poor health and the potential of his death are significant aspects. His situation makes Scrooge realize the importance of kindness and helping the less fortunate during Christmas.
