My favourite holiday memorie was back in 2000, where we were entering the new millennium. I was 15 y/o and I remember been with my younger sister and brother ages 4 and 6, my parents used to work really hard to give us a decent live and I remember spending my Christmas Eve decorating and setting up the table (basically just panettone, some cookies and spirit drinks) si my parents can enjoy when they came back home. Midnight passed and my excitement became in anxiousness as they were not showing up, I remembered I hold my siblings hands and took them for a walk to the backyard so they won’t fall asleep before our parents came back, they were behind 20 minutes but yet was the happiest and most memorable Christmas in my life.

I remember hoping for a white Christmas, it rarely snows in December here, and we ended up getting the largest blizzard in about 50 years, had to go and help dig my grandparents out of their house.

I love how Public Mobile is very generous towards its members. They are leading the industry ( in my opinion) on what phone service providers should do for their customers.

 

I enjoy sitting in front of the fireplace and spending time with family. That is the true meaning of Christmas. 🎄

My favourite memory was from a couple years ago when we got a foot of snow on Christmas Day.  It was nice to be storm stayed at home and enjoy a very white Christmas.

My favourite holiday memory is everyone getting together on Christmas day and eating dinner, watching movies, playing games like Santa Steal, and just enjoying the moment. Things will be different this year but doing it through Zoom so still fun fun fun :).

My favourite holiday memory is having our now son-in-law gather the whole family at their house on Christmas Eve so that he could formally ask our daughter to marry him. It was wonderful and touching to be included in this special moment.

Favourite holiday memory is when many years ago, I did Christmas Brunch with my brother after our parents left on vacation, leaving us both alone! We didn't know what to do with ourselves and felt alone, and we managed to find a restaurant that was open during Christmas Day.

I think the best Christmas was when I watched The Christmas Story movie for the first time with my girlfriend.  Hilarious!

My all time favourite  Christmas memory is going to my in-laws in a major snowstorm driving a Hyundai Pony( this is over 30 years ago)....the snow was so high and visibility was pretty much nil...our little car went through banks and drifts of snow that even the snow plow wouldn’t attempt and they were all pulled off the road due to winter conditions. That little car got us there safe and sound and we were the only ones to get there to spend Christmas with my wife’s parents!

WOW...WTG Public Mobile..what an awesome holiday giveaway...nice to see a company giving back to their members.

My greatest Christmas memory is of our son, when he was just a young child.  Our son loved Santa...I mean LOVED Santa...it all started with his first pair of Santa pj’s when he was just a baby.  As he grew,  the pj’s did not, and it seemed every year I was out looking for Santa pj’s to fit him.  Fast forward 30 years, and now he is a very slim man, about 5”8 ...and “no” he no longer wears Santa pj’s but those memories of him growing up and having to be in full costume, from the pj’s, wig, beard, glasses, hat and boots along with the red velvet bag for gifts will always stay with me...he was so proud to deliver the gifts to family and friends and took such great pride in his deep “Ho-Ho” at every door he knocked on...he also loved to dance in his full attire to all the Christmas music we played...I will always remember those years of him playing Santa, and to this day my family and friends reminisce each Christmas with this story.....

Hi!
I have a similar memory, but I grew up in Toronto and we had to wear green garbage bag "leggings" and another one as a "vest" in order to keep the dampness out! We made up a tobogganing challenge, too - go down the hill standing up!  How the heck we survived our childhood, I don't know: - )

My most memorable holiday memory was our friend’s destination wedding in Cancun during Christmas time.  Our departure flight was delayed by 3 hrs and then a mad dash to the gate for the connecting flight in the US, and finally our luggages were lost.  Luckily the luggage’s arrived at the resort a day later.  We attended a beautiful wedding and enjoyed our Christmas in Cancun.
