I hope you like it.
Meanwhile:
Y'all know the three-point-plot outline:
1.) Get the hero up a tree.
2.) Throw rocks at him.
3.) Get him out of the tree.
And the seven-point plot outline:
1). Introduce the main/viewpoint character
2). Present him with a problem.
3). In a particular setting.
4). The character tries to solve the problem...
5). And fails.
6). The character tries to solve the problem again...
7). And receives validation.
Well, here's a very detailed working-out of those general plot outlines:

Y'all can try writing a story based on that plot outline as your Christmas Challenge. As always, the challenge is to actually submit the story you wrote to an appropriate paying market.
The Post Office is closed on Christmas, and the mail is nuts in the days before ... shall we say the deadline for mailing your completed story (in accordance with the market's guidelines) is 26 December?
(If you finish your story early, lay it aside and give it a final read-through-and-polish on Christmas Day.)
