My Favorite Memory, first time I came back from College, and spent the holidays with my family and friends. I'll never forget.

My favourite Xmas memory has to be the family gatherings.  Sometimes everybody was there but sometimes only some.  Regardless, it was always fun - and continues to be.

My favourite holiday memory and time was when I was on a boat in a snow storm heading to my fiancé for Christmas Eve. Ploughs met the boat as it was snowing so much. Sense that Christmas we have been married 38 years. It makes me smile when I think back to that time.

Definitely the days of preparing the cookies and milks by the Christmas tree. This tradition will forever be no.1!

My favorite holiday memory is having fun on a snowy winter day  with all my cousins going sledding and then warming up all together in the living room watching a movie 🎥 and eating clementines. 🍊

My favourite memory as a kid was having a family dinner and playing card games after dinner. My father worked 364 days a year so the one day off on Christmas was our only true family time.

My favourite holiday memory growing up was everyone sleeping at my grandparents house on Christmas Eve.  We would wake up have a quick bite and then sit around the tree taking turns opening gifts.  This is a tradition that has continued but now we get together at my mom's house.  Unfortunately, this year it will happen online due to COVID 😥

Believe it or not, my favorite holiday memory is getting my first game console. How could i have known that it'd turn into a lifelong gaming trend! Looking back now, it's possibly the greatest gift I've ever received.

Best holiday memory has to be spending time with family and visiting friends and relatives on Christmas Day. Fond memories now that parents and others are no longer with us. Family means everything.

One of my favourite Christmas memories is going with my youngest son and a friend and her son and cutting down a Christmas tree.  We even saw a wolf while we were working!!

I remember the time I went to the Bahamas and showed what the Canadian dance was all about

 

That was like 32-34 years ago, BUT that was great memories

 

Also, The Banana Boat, that was also a great memory, and I loved that when in the Bahamas

Hi!

My favourite holiday memory is from that one time I spent the holidays on the North Pole and sent gifts to all PM subscribers.  Now the secret is out.. this is how everyone got their free data and minutes.  You're welcome, everybody!  🤥

I still remember last years generous gifts from my cell phone provider. I'd been with Telus forever before that and never got anything like that from them. So thank you Telus via your little Public Mobile outfit. (and this year)

This year's holiday is the most special one as we will be home everyday! Lots of family time together. We got many family games ready to play with my 5 year old girl.

Flying kites !
Compete with others in the neighborhood.

My favourite Christmas was my first one with my adopted mama and poppa. I finally got to go outside! My old family had me imprisoned in a condo where I was literally bouncing off the walls with nothing to do and hardly anyone around to pet me. 

 

So my new family was awesome. That year it snowed for Christmas too I'd never seen snow so this was a whole new thing to explore for me. And when I was out there I met my first rat and I caught him and brought him inside and he promptly escaped from me. I found out his name was Billy. So Billy the rat and I we played for like 3-4 days hide and seek. He would try to escape and I would try to catch him and it never failed he went back to his little hiding spot behind the water heater in the closet where I couldn't get him. Finally on the fourth day I went over to the door to greet my poppa as he came home with groceries and when I was distracted with the door open Billy the rat escaped I went chasing after him in the snow but he buried himself under the under the snow and I couldn't get him and that was the last time I saw Billy the rat.

 

Christmas day was great not only did I get my favourite snax.... temptations otherwise known as Max snax. There was a tree that I could play with the ornaments on and I learned about the turkey dance oh that was awesome this giant turkey in the oven smelling so good when I was it's cooking and it's just this like a tap dance a hot footed tap dance for like 3 to 4 hours till that that giant bird came out of came out of the oven and I had turkey to my heart's content. I love turkey!  Later we had a nice fire and they roasted some marshmallows in the fire place and when they weren't looking I went over to investigate and all of a sudden OMG there was something on my tail and I freaked out! I was running all over the house and there was this clickety clackity clickety clack sound behind me and then my owners they're running around after me and they're all freaked out and then finally Poppa caught me and meeeow couple of my hairs were ripped off my tail then they showed it to me.....  I guess the marshmallow stick stuck to my tail but Jeepers that freaked me out freaked them out too and that was my first Christmas day my first real Christmas day.

 

@Catherine_T 

Could you clarify the rule around contest entries? They mention one per customer, one per person, one post and a winner is determined to be the holder of the email entered by the customer. My take on pm contests has always been one per customer account/ email. Please correct me if I am wrong. Meowy Christmas!
