'Enchanted' is the off-putting thing for me here. I don't think I've ever written a story that contains magic. At least, not since my teens... possibly early twenties.

For me, the genre is not wide open as we must use magic. Magic in a thriller? Magic in a drama? Sci-fi? I think having to use magic limits the genres we can use.  

Here's the Wikipedia list of December Holidays...

On another list I did spot Dec 5th is International Ninja Day

Theme: The Enchanted Holiday Ornament*

December holiday is specified afterward. I think the theme should be edited to show that one should be writing about a December holiday only. This will save any misunderstandings later.

Does it have to be a holiday ornament or can it be an ornament that just happens to be enchanted during a December holiday?

Quoted from LC And the countdown has begun... I also look forward to reading Steven Clark's entry. No pressure.

Does getting in an entry require me to sit in front of my laptop and actually write?

Also, regarding the Holiday, it's a December holiday. Hannuka, Christmas Kwanzaa or whatever other reason people celebrate this time of year. Even atheists like to get festive. Doesn't have to be religious.

Worship at the altar. You don’t even wanna know where I just went with that.

Quoted from SAC Worship at the altar. You don’t even wanna know where I just went with that.

I'm sure that whatever it was, mate, it was Hallmark worthy.

I hope this answers the questions raised:

Quoted Text Sweet! Do reefs [wreaths?]  and nutcracker dolls count as ornaments? And can enchanted mean... Haunted?

Yes.

Quoted from spesh2k Does a Christmas tree or wreath count as an ornament? Or does this strictly refer to those little trinkets you hang on the tree?

insofar as a tree and wreath are ornamention,  yes they count as ornaments

Quoted from MarkRenshaw You do realise all the scripts will be automatically adapted by Hallmark?

Open genre - they may be splatter horror ...

Quoted from DustinBowcot Does it have to be a holiday ornament or can it be an ornament that just happens to be enchanted during a December holiday?

Yes, it has to be a holiday ornament

Festivus - my favorite December holiday

I don't understand why some view this as "Hallmarky". Could absolutely be a horror, sci fi, even porn titled "Santa's Enchanted Balls".

Can the ornament be made of tungsten or wolfram?

Quoted from mmmarnie I don't understand why some view this as "Hallmarky". Could absolutely be a horror, sci fi, even porn titled "Santa's Enchanted Balls".

Don draws the line at porn.

Quoted from DustinBowcot I'm sure that whatever it was, mate, it was Hallmark worthy.

Hallmark After Hours
