The commercialization of Christmas in a short story can be shown through the character of Santa Claus himself. In the past, Santa was a symbol of giving and kindness.

He sees how his image has been used to make people buy more. He feels sad that the real meaning of Christmas, which was about love and sharing, has been overshadowed by the desire to make money. He decides to try and bring back the old - fashioned Christmas spirit to the world.

A Snowy Marriage (A Christmas agreement)

A Snowy Marriage (A Christmas agreement)

" How about we help each other?" He says and I look up at him, eyes still wet from the tears streaming down my cheeks, heart freshly broken from the public humiliation and betrayal that was Lucas's breakup. I can faintly make out the first droppings of snow floating magically under the light of the street lamps. It's that time of the year, a time for wool coats, a time for relaxing, none of which I'll be doing. "I'm an orphan with a wicked aunt and a boyfriend who left her because she has nothing to her name, how could I possibly help you?" I say another sob escaping my lips. "Marry me" he replies and my eyes widen in anger. Is he mocking me?. I look into the eyes of this stranger and see he's dead serious. "I need a wife, you need a home, marry me and you'll have all you want". I nod.

First, think about your characters. You could have a main character who is disillusioned with the commercial side of Christmas. For example, a young adult who remembers the simpler Christmases of their childhood. Then, create a setting. Maybe a big city where the Christmas lights and store displays are overwhelming. Next, develop a plot. The character could try to resist the commercialization by doing something different, like making handmade gifts instead of buying expensive ones. Finally, have a message. It could be about the importance of the true meaning of Christmas over the materialistic aspects.
