Key characters with some ideas for casting if not already cast:

    • Redheaded girl actor (Googling child actors was too difficult) who resembles the parent actors
  • Fritz Stahlbaum
    • Boy actor who resembles who resembles the parent actors
  • Dr. Dottie Stahlbaum (I added the last name of Stahlbaum since it's Clara's last name in The Nutcracker)
    • Already cast as Katy Mixon Greer 
  • Peter Nutcracker (I literally Googled "hot male ballet dancers")
  • Rowan Gingerbreadman
  • Nicole Singh (I added the last name of Singh based on the actress being Guyanese-Canadian)
    • Already cast as Sarah DeSouza-Coelho
  • Kathy Barrett
    • Already cast as Lacey Chabert
  • Jack Snowman
    • Already cast as Dustin Milligan

    • Already cast as Craig Robinson
  • Deputy Sheriff Ed Schatz
    • Already cast as Joe Lo Truglio

Synopsis:

  • Holly, Ginger, and Fritz have bonded over the years because their parents are so close and they're all close in age. Now they all have the same Christmas wish: a dog. However, after asking and asking and asking, all of the parents say no. 
  • Dejected, the kids go to the thrift store and there, the owners exchange a knowing look and bring out a dog collar with snowflakes on it for the kids. The kids say they aren't getting a dog, and the store owners tell them that they should keep it just in case.
  • The kids decide to make a dog out of snow and put the collar on it. Proud of their work, they snap a selfie with the dog and go home. Overnight, the collar turns out to be magic and the dog springs to life. The dog promptly runs around the neighborhood causing minor chaos--peeing on snowmen, ripping open Christmas delivery packages, and accidentally unplugging Christmas light displays. The series of minor complaints land on Sheriff Hunter's desk and he and Deputy Schatz are on the case.
  • The kids see that their snow dog is missing and Holly finds the dog under her porch. She quickly stashes him in her dad's toolshed and gathers Fritz and Ginger. The three decide they'll take turns taking care of the dog and hiding him--he may just be the magical answer to their Christmas wish.
  • The kids hilariously manage to hide the dog from their parents--although they leave a trail for Hunter and Schatz to follow, until Christmas Eve when Hunter and Schatz seize the dog calling the dog a stray. Seeing how upset the kids are, all of the parents say that they are the owners of the dog at the same time. Hunter is confused and asks who is the owner? Kathy explains they all are. The kids are delighted and the parents explain that they'll do a dog sharing plan. They decide to name the dog Bethlehem or Beth for short.

Additional elements to work in:
  • Stepping in dog poop

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
