The night of Christmas was almost here and the children of the small town had been eagerly awaiting. But what most of them didn't know was that this Christmas would not be like any other. Little did they know that this Christmas was going to be far from joyful. 

It started with a darkness that seemed to be thicker than the usual night. An air of fear and dread seemed to take over the town and even the bravest shivered at the thought of stepping out of the house after sundown. Children stayed wrapped in their blankets, praying for the darkness to stay away. 

However, little did they know that this night would be forever etched in their minds as the scariest Christmas night. As the clock struck midnight, a loud shrieking sound echoed across the houses. It was the sound of something sinister, something evil. Everyone in the town felt a chill down their spine as they heard it and their worst fears had come true. 

The darkness was something more than just a darkness; it was a force of pure terror. Everywhere around the town, people were screaming as they saw horrifying figures running around, monsters and ghosts that were filled with an evil intent to cause harm. 

The children were filled with fear, unable to move or scream as they were rooted to the spot. They hid under the blankets and prayed that it was all just in their heads. But deep down, they all knew that this was the scariest Christmas that they would ever experience. 

When the morning came, it felt like a different world. The sun shone brightly, giving everyone hope and some comfort. But for the residents of the town, the memory of the horrific night will stay with them forever. And to this day, that same fear of the dark still remains in the town, as everyone still remembers the scariest Christmas horror story. 

>> Bonus story:

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the waves were crashing against the shore. A group of friends had come to the beach to enjoy the day. They were playing games, swimming and sunbathing. 

As the day went on, the sun began to go down and the waves became more violent. The group decided to pack up and go home. As they were walking to their car, they heard a strange noise. It sounded like a girl crying. 

They followed the noise and it led them to a cave. They went into the cave and found a girl sitting in the middle of it. She was crying and she looked very scared. The group asked her what was wrong. 

The girl told them that she was haunted by a ghost. The ghost was the spirit of a girl who had drowned in the ocean. The girl said that the ghost was trying to kill her. 

The group didn't believe the girl at first, but then they started to hear the ghost. It was crying and moaning. They could also feel a cold breeze blowing through the cave. 

The group was terrified. They ran out of the cave and back to their car. They drove away as fast as they could. They never went back to that beach again.
