I think there are only 20 winners to this contest aren't there? And 29 pages of entries? Obviously the “regulars” are most likely first to report themselves here as contest winners..... but three regulars already? Thats pretty good odds.

Yes, only 20 spots but just over 9 pages of entries...max 24 per page = 240 posts in this thread max... BUT MANY posts are not entries, just replies so, even less... so odds are about 1 in 10 to win?!  Nice odds!

My favourite holiday memory this year is helping a couple deliver their Christmas baby. They were so nervous and frightened and they were so appreciative of me being there to guide them through the whole process.

I loved having so many people sleeping in the house that we all wondered how Santa would navigate around everyone to get between the chimney and the tree.

Cool. My favourite Christmas memory was back in the days when I was a kid, I joined the school choir and we went singing Christmas Carols during the holiday season.

My favourite Christmas memory was when we were kids, my dad brought my older brother and I to our local The Bay store (wasn't called Hudson's Bay on the sign and later was renamed/rebranded The Northern) for a Christmas scavenger hunt giveaway promotion. 

 

I was maybe 6 or 7 and my 8 or 9 year old big brother found a prize of gold hoop/sleeper earrings that he gave to me on the spot.  As kids, we were both so excited he won/found a prize and my mom didn't like wearing earrings so my brother knew I could have them as my mom had gotten my ears pierced when I was 4 or 5 (shortly before or just starting kindergarten).  Sadly a few months or so later, I somehow lost both of them while wearing them to primary school and my brother never let me forget it (not the first nor last thing I've lost over the years).

 My favorite memory is when my one of my family members used to dress up as Santa and give us gifts (cousins and I) Now I continue this tradition with my kids and nephews, they still don't know its me, their face lights up and when they see a Santa at the mall they say thats not the real one haha

For my favourite holiday memory this year, I have to pick:

1) I had the first ever virtual company christmas gathering online, we picked one evening which the company has provided us with dining cards so we could order our dinner and had it delivered. Then we all met on Zoom to play some games and share some laughs. What an unique party!

2) I switched my phone plan to PM and became a member of this community. When I did the transfer, I had some troubles to connect to the network and thanks to some posts in this community, I was able to find the solution and voila... here I am!

Happy new year everyone!

Being locked down has certainly been memorable - it was nice to slow things down and stay at home for once.
