Your local library might also be a good source. Some libraries have a section on their website where they offer printable resources. You can check if they have any Christmas carol printable stories available for download. If not, you could visit the library in person and ask the librarian if they can help you find one.
In most cases, if it is truly offered as free and printable, it is legal. However, make sure it comes from a legitimate source. Some websites may claim it's free but actually violate copyright laws. If it is from an official publisher's promotional campaign or an authorized digital library, then it's okay.
First, choose a Christmas carol. For example, 'Jingle Bells'. Then, write out the story based on the theme and lyrics of the carol. You can start with an introduction like 'One snowy day, the sound of jingle bells filled the air...'. Next, design the layout on a word processing software like Microsoft Word. Add some pictures related to Christmas if you like.
You can try some official classic literature websites. They sometimes offer free printable materials for educational and promotional purposes. Also, check out some public library websites. They may have digital versions available for free download and printing for their members.

He peeked out and saw a big Christmas tree filled with shiny ornaments. The family had left out some cookies. Whiskers couldn't resist and sneaked out to take a nibble. But he was so kind - he left a little note saying 'Thank you! Merry Christmas!'
