This Christmas, Clair.ID wants to celebrate the magic of the season with YOU—our amazing community! We’re inviting you to share your most fun, heartwarming, or unforgettable Christmas story. Whether it’s a hilarious holiday mishap, a cherished family tradition, or a feel-good moment with friends or neighbors, we want to hear it.

The most interesting stories will take center stage on Clair.ID’s front page this Christmas morning. The goal is to spread joy, laughter, and holiday cheer to families across our city. Let’s have some fun, share some smiles, and make this Christmas one to remember!

  • Local Connection: Whether it happened at a neighborhood event, a favorite local spot, or involved someone from our community, your story should reflect the heart of Simi Valley.
  • Authenticity: We’re not looking for polished writers—we’re looking for real, heartfelt stories that bring the magic of the season to life.

Submission Details:

  • Spotlight Your Story: Other standout submissions may also be featured throughout Christmas week on our website and social media.
  • Spread Joy: Your story could brighten someone’s holiday, inspire a new tradition, or even remind people of the magic of the season.

Tips for a Great Story

  • Be Real: Tell it in your own voice—don’t worry about being formal or fancy.
