One main element is the comical characters. For example, clumsy elves or sassy reindeer. Another is the unexpected situations like Santa losing his hat in a snowstorm or a Christmas tree that topples over at the wrong moment. Also, the use of humorous dialogue can be a key element, such as when the characters exchange funny banter about Christmas presents.
In Christmas poems, the rhymes can create humor. For instance, 'Santa came in a sleigh, with presents all the way. His hat was askew, and his boots were blue.' In stories, misunderstandings between characters are humorous. Such as when the elves mistake a toy for a real animal and try to feed it carrots. There are also funny moments when things don't go as planned in Christmas preparations, like the cookies burning while waiting for Santa.
In a small village, there was a baker who made Christmas cookies that were so delicious they could make people sing. One Christmas, he made so many cookies that the whole village was filled with the sound of singing. People would stop in the middle of the street to take a bite of a cookie and start singing Christmas carols.
One key element is the unexpected. For example, in a story, a slow - moving turtle wins a race against a fast - running rabbit in an unexpected way, like the rabbit getting distracted by a beautiful flower. This unexpected twist adds humor and also motivation as it shows that underdogs can win. Another element is relatable characters. If the characters are like us, we can better connect with the story and get motivated by their experiences.
Sure. One story is about Santa Claus getting his beard stuck in the chimney while delivering presents. He wiggled and jiggled until he finally freed himself, but his beard was all askew and he had soot all over his face, making the kids giggle when they saw him.
Here's a humorous Christmas short story. A family was decorating their Christmas tree. The cat got into the box of ornaments and started batting them around like toys. When they finally caught the cat, they found it had an ornament stuck on its head, looking like a very festive feline. There's also the story of a Christmas choir where one singer's voice was so off - key that it made everyone laugh instead of sing along.
One interesting element is the contrast between the spooky nature of ghosts and the humorous situations they get into. For example, a ghost being afraid of a little mouse. Another is the way ghosts interact with the living in a comical way, like a ghost trying to use modern technology but failing miserably.

Acts of kindness. Such as when people share what they have or help others during Christmas. This reflects the teachings of Jesus about love and helping the needy. In many religious Christmas stories, someone does a kind deed which has a positive outcome.
There was a pastor who decided to do a live nativity scene. He asked a parishioner to play the donkey. During the performance, the 'donkey' got a bit too into character and started chasing the shepherds around. Everyone watching couldn't stop giggling. It was a chaotic but very humorous take on the Christmas story.
Well, first of all, relatable characters or situations can make short funny stories appealing. If we can see ourselves or people we know in the story, it's easier to find it funny. For instance, a story about a student trying to avoid doing homework in a creative way. Secondly, exaggeration plays a big role. When a character's reaction to something is overly exaggerated, like a man screaming at the sight of a tiny spider as if it were a huge monster, it makes the story humorous. And the use of irony also adds to the appeal. A fire station burning down is an example of ironic and funny situation in a short story.
